Freight transport Poland
Poland is one of the largest logistics markets in Europe and an important trading partner of Romania. We organise road freight to the industrial south (Katowice, Kraków), to Warsaw, Łódź and the west of the country, in both directions.
Freight transport Romania – Poland, in both directions
Between Romania and Poland travel food products, furniture, car components, household appliances, building materials and palletised goods for the large retail chains. Many distributors use warehouses in Poland as a base for Central and Eastern Europe.
For freight transport to Poland we organise:
- Full truckload (FTL): a 13.6 m semi-trailer just for your goods, directly from loading to unloading;
- Pallet groupage (LTL): for a few pallets or a partial load, priced per loading metre;
- Express van: for urgent parts and samples, with one or two drivers;
- Refrigerated transport: for food and temperature-sensitive goods, with ATP vehicles;
- ADR transport and oversize transport: with the documents and permits required in Poland and in the transit countries.

The route to Poland
Trucks go through Hungary and Slovakia, entering Poland at Chyżne or Barwinek, towards Kraków and Katowice. To western Poland (Wrocław, Poznań), trucks often go through the Czech Republic. On the mountain roads in Slovakia and southern Poland, winter can add time to the trip.
Road tolls and traffic restrictions
In Poland, trucks over 3.5 t pay the road toll through the e-TOLL system, on toll motorways and roads. Trucks over 12 t have traffic restrictions on public holidays and, in summer, at certain times on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. On the way, the tolls in Hungary and Slovakia are added.
Documents for freight transport to Poland
As it is a member of the European Union, goods move to Poland without customs formalities. For the transport you need an invoice or delivery note, the CMR consignment note, completed at loading and signed by the consignee at delivery, and the UIT code from RO e-Transport, if the shipment leaves Romania and exceeds the thresholds.
Special goods need additional documents: the safety data sheet and ADR documents for dangerous goods, the vehicle's ATP certificate for perishable food, or the special permits for oversize loads, issued in each country along the route.
Transport from Poland to Romania
From Poland we bring to Romania food, furniture, household appliances, building materials, packaging and palletised goods for distribution.
