Nordcarrier on the solution that best suits your shipment, so you don’t pay for more capacity than necessary—and don’t choose a solution that’s too limited for the task.

What types of goods can be shipped to and from Poland?

Nordcarrier commercial freight to and from Poland on pallets, as individual packages, as full loads, and for special projects. The key is to ensure that the freight is described accurately from the outset so that the vehicle type, load securing, and documentation are appropriate for the job.

• Pallets and general cargo: Ideal for regular B2B shipments, spare parts, packaging, components, and merchandise.
• Machinery and production equipment: Requires precise dimensions, weight, lifting points, and any safety requirements.
• Industrial goods and components: Relevant for companies with suppliers or manufacturing partners in Poland.
• ADR cargo: May be handled provided that classification, packaging, and documentation comply with applicable requirements.
• Hastegods: Kan koordineres som dedikeret vejtransport eller som luftfragt, når tidskravet kræver en anden løsning.
• Temperature-sensitive cargo: Temperature requirements, equipment, and handling instructions must be clarified prior to booking.

For time-sensitive shipments, Nordcarrier assesses whether road freight is sufficient or whether air freight via Nordcarrier & Sea A/S is appropriate. Air freight is significantly faster than road and sea-based solutions on intercontinental routes, but for Poland, the choice depends primarily on the urgency, the type of cargo, and the pickup location.

For air freight, relevant documents such as the Air Waybill (AWB) are used, and dangerous goods must comply with the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR). For road freight, the CMR is the primary transport document, and the ADR regulations apply to dangerous goods.

Documentation, CMR, and Incoterms for shipments to Poland

Shipping to Poland requires proper transport documentation, even though Poland is part of the EU. For general goods in free circulation between Denmark and Poland, customs clearance is not usually required, as it is for imports or exports to third countries, but the documentation requirements must still be met.

The CMR consignment note documents the road transport and specifies the shipper, consignee, description of the goods, packages, weight, and delivery location. Errors in the CMR, labeling, or delivery instructions can cause unnecessary delays in the transport process.

The Incoterms 2020 should be agreed upon by the buyer and seller before transportation is booked. Among other things, they determine who is responsible for transportation costs, the transfer of risk, and practical obligations under the transaction.
