Full Details

Posting a watch to Poland is permitted with no licensing requirement; the compliance risk is valuation. National Revenue Administration (KAS) — Customs Service assesses charges on the declared value from the CN22/CN23 or courier entry: import VAT/GST at 23% applies above the exemption threshold, plus duty on above-threshold consignments. EU EUR 22 import-VAT exemption ended 1 July 2021. All commercial parcels into Poland attract 23% VAT regardless of value. Customs duty 0% under EUR 150; standard rate above EUR 150. High-value watches should travel by insured courier with formal customs entry — postal channels cap indemnity far below luxury-watch values, and undervaluation to dodge charges voids insurance and invites seizure.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Use an insured courier service with formal entry for anything valuable, declare the true price, and keep the invoice — undervaluing a shipped watch is the classic seizure-plus-penalty case.
