CARS To POLAND

The single most important document is ORIGINAL TITLE of your car and Polish translation of it done by authorized translation office in Poland (translation done in the US has no biding power in Poland.) The rest depends on whether or not car is send as part of migration or relocation property or not.
If the car is a part of relocation/migration property, you will need:

• original US registration card,
• Polish passport or ID (dowód osobisty),
• Document confirming permanent residency in Poland,
• List of all items shipped with the car by the person who is relocating,
• Documents confirming US residency for at least a year, such as bills, credit card statements, etc.,
• Polish currency to pay customs fees – the cost of customs fees for the car is 495 PLN.

If the car is not a part of relocation/migration property all you will need is the vehicle title (US original and Polish translation) and documents confirming id of the person who receives the car. And Polish currency – and quite a lot of it, as the cost of customs, VAT etc will amount to about 60% of the car value.

There are two very important things to keep in mind when shipping a car to Poland:

• gas tank needs to be empty – when you bring your car to us the light HAS TO BE ON,
• you cannot drive in Poland without insurance – to start with we suggest getting “ubezpieczenie graniczne” (OC, so called “border crossing insurance”) which is … only insurance good for 30 days. This will let you drive home safely, even though you car still have American plates. You can contact our Warsaw office for more info.

 
What if I do not want to pick up the car in Warsaw? Can Polamer deliver is to my house?
Of course we can do that – such a service can be provided per request and the cost of it depends on the kind of vehicle to transport and distance from Warsaw.
