Poland Dedicated Line: Tax-Free Direct Delivery to Central and Eastern Europe for Parcels Under €22

As the new EU customs tariff policy tightens cross-border thresholds, small parcels with a value not exceeding €22 have become the last tax-free pass. With Warsaw’s smart hub as its fulcrum, Meest Poland Small Parcel Dedicated Line has created an efficient and compliant logistics fast track for personal-use goods shipped to Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, and Bulgaria. This dedicated line not only allows you to seize policy dividends but also, based on localized operations in Poland, helps you explore the blue-ocean market of Central and Eastern Europe with light assets.

Policy Dividend: The Golden Period of Tax Exemption for Small Parcels

The new EU regulations have abolished tax exemption for goods under €150, with only parcels ≤ €22 retaining customs duty exemption — they can pass through only by paying value-added tax (VAT). Meest Dedicated Line further amplifies this advantage: through bulk transshipment at the Polish sorting center, it reduces the EU-mandated €2 per parcel processing fee to €0.5, cutting the unit cost by 75% directly. The freight system is transparent and controllable:

  • General cargo: As low as ¥50/kg + ¥18 registration fee;
  • Battery-containing goods: ¥58/kg + ¥21 registration fee
    (Freight is calculated based on the higher value between actual weight and dimensional weight).

In addition, a professional team fills in declaration documents on your behalf, ensuring the cargo value accurately meets the €22 upper limit and avoiding the risk of under-declaration.

Strict Compliance: Precise Standards for Personal Parcels

This channel is exclusively designed for light and small items for personal use; commercial-use products are strictly prohibited. Each parcel must meet three strict criteria:

  • Cargo value ≤ €22: Covering personal consumer goods such as clothing, small home appliances, and daily necessities;
  • Single-side dimension ≤ 60cm: Suitable for shoe boxes and packaging of small electronic products;
  • Weight 0.05-2kg: Starting from 50g, providing precise services for small items.

Dimensional weight is calculated as length × width × height (cm) ÷ 8000, eliminating cost premiums for bulky goods. At the same time, the prohibited items list is strictly enforced: sensitive goods such as pure batteries (requiring MSDS certification), e-cigarettes, food, and pharmaceuticals are all rejected. This ensures customs clearance efficiency from the source, increasing the pass rate by 40%.

Core Engine: The Hard Power of Warsaw’s Smart Hub

The 8,000-square-meter smart sorting center in Warsaw, Poland, is the “super heart” of this dedicated line. Equipped with a five-side scanning system and AI dimensioning technology, it automatically captures the 3D data of parcels, with a handling capacity of up to 40,000 pieces per hour. X-ray machines conduct double security checks on battery-containing goods, and full-process video monitoring is combined with cargo insurance to build a dual security defense line. The logistics link is optimized to the extreme: goods collected in China are directly flown to the Warsaw hub, and after sorting, they are transferred to the local delivery network by Poczta Polska (Polish Post). The entire process takes 8-12 calendar days for delivery, with real-time trackable status. It also supports Cash on Delivery (COD) service, addressing the payment pain points of consumers in Central and Eastern Europe.

From the warehouse door in China to the hands of buyers in Central and Eastern Europe, Meest provides closed-loop protection:

  • Free door-to-door pickup nationwide: Supports mixed shipment of general cargo and battery-containing goods, reducing sorting costs;
  • One-stop tax service: ROSAN, Meest’s Ukrainian subsidiary, handles VAT payment on behalf, with one-click escrow of customs clearance documents;
  • Return and exchange solution: Free 30-day storage of returned goods at the Ukrainian transit warehouse, reducing cross-border after-sales losses;
  • Localized customer service: The Polish team directly connects with the postal system, providing 24-hour response to delivery issues and reducing the dispute rate by 60%.
