FedEx Clearance Process
All shipments shipped from Poland to non-EU countries must be cleared through Customs in the destination country prior to being delivered to the recipient. Unless the sender specified a broker, FedEx submits shipments to Customs and other regulatory agencies. It is the sender's responsibility to provide the necessary and correct documentation. Shipments that require more than the FedEx International Air Waybill and Commercial Invoice may require more transit time. If shipments are held by Customs because of incorrect or missing documentation we may first attempt to notify the recipient.

When shipping from Poland to non-EU countries clearance through Customs depends on whether you're shipping:
- Documents with no commercial value
- Dutiable goods (goods with a commercial value)
- No individual customs clearance is required for shipments with value lower than 1000 euro.

Required documentation varies according to the following factors:
- If you are shipping documents with no commercial value (including Advertising, airline ticket issue, annual reports, blueprints, books, brochures, business cards, catalogs, computer printouts, invoices, magazines, manuscripts, newspapers, and specification sheets) you only require the fully completed FedEx International Air Waybill.
- If you are shipping dutiables (goods with a commercial value), you require a FedEx International Air Waybill and a Commercial or Proforma Invoice.
Certificates and other forms might be required depending on the destination, commodity, and origin country of the goods. For more details, please contact us and we will answer your specific request.
