Moving from Ireland to Poland may not sound like such a big deal, since they are both members of the EU, which technically makes way for easy relocation, but once you start looking into the process you’ll soon discover there are a few things to prepare for.
So why not let the experts handle the shipment of your personal belongings? It’s easier, less dangerous, and even cheaper!
What You Need to Ship Your Belongings to Poland
Since both countries are part of the EU, you can move household goods to Poland without needing to pay additional taxes, but Polish customs will require a list of documents in order to clear your shipment and allow it to enter the country.
This documentation includes:
- Notarized copy of your passport and residence permit
- A packing list with all the belongings in your cargo
- Bill of landing
- If you are shipping an automobile, you will also need all the documents that prove you own the vehicle as well.
To ensure your shipment doesn’t get caught up in a logistical customs nightmare, be sure to have all this documentation ready for inspection.
How Much Does It Cost to Move to Poland?
International moving rates in the industry aren’t fixed, rather they are contingent on various factors such as:
- Distance
- Cargo size
- Special shipping requirements (such as in the case of high-value items that need to be handled with extra care)
- The types of services you choose (all-encompassing, or just shipping?)
- How difficult it is for the transporter to get to your destination. Shipping to a big city is cheaper than shipping to remote locations, as cities are more accessible for transporters.
In order to know how much your specific case will cost, we’d recommend getting in touch with a few shipping companies and ask for their rates. Then, you can compare the rates and the types of services included to get an accurate idea of how much your shipment will cost.
