From Silesia and Wrocław your goods are often in Czechia the same day, from Poznań, Warsaw and Gdańsk by the next day.

Poland is the second-closest large market for Czech companies and the production base for half of Europe — furniture, household appliances, automotive, food. We collect from the Polish supplier, track the truck and tell you the exact delivery time.

Where we load in Poland — and what comes from where

  • Upper Silesia — Katowice, Gliwice and Tychy (Stellantis plants), Bielsko-Biała: automotive, steel, engineering. The shortest route to the Czech Republic.
  • Lower Silesia — Wrocław area (electromobility suppliers in Kobierzyce, electronics), Jawor (Mercedes-Benz engines), Wałbrzych (Toyota).
  • Greater Poland — Poznań (Volkswagen Poznań), Września (Volkswagen), furniture industry.
  • Łódź — household appliance production and large distribution centres in central Poland.
  • Warsaw — distribution, e-commerce, consumer goods.
  • Gdańsk and Gdynia — Baltic ports: we bring overseas containers from the terminal to you.

Route and transit time

From Silesia we drive on the A1/D1 via Gorzyczki–Věřňovice, from Wrocław via Královec (S3) or Náchod. Katowice–Ostrava is about 90 km, Wrocław–Prague about 300 km, Gdańsk–Prague about 700 km.

Keep in mind: in Poland trucks over 12 t may not drive on public holidays, and in the summer season also at weekends. Tolls are paid via the e-TOLL system and are included in the price.

How the import works

  1. Send us the supplier's address in Poland, quantity and required date.
  2. Within 30 minutes you get a price for the import from Poland and a proposed loading date.
  3. During transport you know where the truck is, and we confirm the unloading time the day before.
  4. After delivery you receive the signed CMR consignment note.

Full truckloads and single pallets

For large volumes we arrange a full truck (33 Euro pallets, 24 t). Smaller shipments go as a part load or join a groupage run — you pay only for the space they take. Chilled goods travel in a reefer trailer with monitored temperature.

Documents and customs

Poland is in the EU, so goods are not cleared through customs. An invoice and a CMR note are enough.
