Whether you’re shipping a car to Poland from the USA for personal use, importing a classic or luxury vehicle, or sending an electric car, we handle everything from US pickup to delivery in Poland for a smooth import experience.

To be legally driven in Poland, vehicles must meet local homologation standards and emissions rules, and have the correct documentation.

Our local partners in Poland work with us to ensure your vehicle meets all regulations for import and registration before it leaves the port.

Registering Your Car in Poland

After shipping your car from the USA to Poland and clearing customs, you must register the vehicle locally before you can legally drive it. We guide you through each step of registering an imported car in Poland, so you don’t have to navigate Polish offices and paperwork alone.

Essential Documentation for Registration

  • Foreign registration certificate and proof of ownership
  • Customs duty and VAT payment records
  • Technical inspection approval for roadworthiness and emissions compliance
  • Vehicle approval certificates (homologation for EU standards)
  • Original bill of sale and shipping documents
  • Import declaration form

Classic Car Exemptions

If your car is over 30 years old, unmodified, and no longer in production, it may qualify as a classic vehicle in Poland. In many cases this allows for a reduced VAT rate and a simplified registration process compared to newer cars. Our team can coordinate with local specialists to help you take advantage of these classic-car exemptions when available.

Polish registration offices also require that imported vehicles comply with EU driving standards. Some light modifications may be necessary before registration, such as adjusting turn signals to amber, updating lighting, and confirming emissions compliance. We coordinate inspections and any required changes so your car is fully compliant and ready to be registered in Poland.
