As of November 1, 2024, foreign carriers conducting road transport to Poland will be required to register all shipments in the SENT system before crossing the Polish border. These changes apply to all types of cargo, regardless of their nature or classification, under the recent legislative amendments.

Main Objectives of the New Requirements

The implementation of these changes aims to enhance control over foreign carriers transporting goods into Poland. The mandatory SENT registration will:

  • Reduce the risk of illegal cargo entry into Poland.
  • Increase transparency and safety in international logistics operations.
  • Facilitate monitoring and compliance with transport regulations.

How Will This Affect International Transport?

The new regulations require foreign carriers to:

  • Complete the SENT registration before crossing the Polish border.
  • Allocate additional resources to ensure accurate and timely registration, which will help meet deadlines and avoid potential delays.
  • Adapt their internal processes and route planning to comply with the SENT registration as an obligatory requirement.

These changes demand that companies familiarize themselves with the requirements and prepare accordingly to ensure compliance and seamless operations.

What’s Next?

If your company regularly transports goods to Poland, it’s essential to familiarize yourself with these new requirements now and adjust processes to enable timely SENT registration. Doing so will help you avoid potential delays and fines, ensuring a smooth transport experience.
