Polish excise and customs, without the guesswork.
Two questions come up in almost every first conversation: what the tax actually costs, and what has to happen before a pallet can be sold in Poland. Both are answered here, written from the perspective of someone shipping into the country rather than administering it.
- Excise
Excise duty on alcohol in Poland: 2026 rates and when you actually pay
Rates for wine, spirits, beer and intermediate products, the cost per bottle, and the moment the duty falls due.
- Import
Importing wine into Poland: permits, documents, duty, excise and tax stamps
Two routes - from inside the EU and from outside it - the documents a producer has to supply, and the three mistakes that hold shipments up.
Three further guides exist only in Polish.
Third-party tax warehouses, the excise suspension arrangement and tax stamps are Polish procedures written for Polish importers, so we keep them in Polish rather than publishing machine-quality English. If you need one of them in English, ask Mateusz and you will get an answer in writing.
