To be legally driven in Poland, vehicles must meet local homologation standards and emissions rules, and have the correct documentation. That includes lighting and speedometer requirements, emissions compliance, and properly completed import forms. Your customs agent and the registration office in Poland confirm what your car needs; we send the US documents they ask for before the car sails.

Original cars over 30 years old can be declared as collectors' items (heading 9705), and registration as a historic vehicle follows its own rules. Your customs agent in Gdynia confirms both before the car sails.

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.
