Poland: Changes to the SENT system

From the beginning of 2025 all foreign carriers carrying out international transport through Poland to or from non-EU countries will have to declare these transports in the SENT system. This obligation affects companies from the EU, Switzerland and the EFTA countries, regardless of whether the cargo has a final destination in another European country or outside the EU.

What do you need to know?

  • Who must declare?
    All carriers transiting through Poland must submit a declaration for each shipment in the SENT system.

  • Penalties for non-compliance:
    Failure to declare a shipment can lead to serious financial consequences, including fines of up to PLN 20,000 (approx. EUR 4,500 ) per shipment.

  • Purpose of the SENT system:
    The new rules have been introduced to improve transparency in international transport, prevent smuggling and fraud, and facilitate the control of tolls.

How to prepare?

  1. Analyze your procedures:
    Make sure that all processes in your company comply with the new requirements.

  2. Train your team:
    Implement SENT system training.

  3. Get professional help:
