Every country in the EU has its own rules and regulations, and Poland is no different. All it takes is a little planning, and international shipping to Poland is as simple as mailing a letter across town.
According to the USPS, the following items are prohibited:
- Arms and ammunition.
- Documents written with the expressed purpose of contradicting Poland's interests.
- Currency still in circulation in Poland and any valuable items such as jewelry or precious stones.
- Perishable biological substances, both infections and noninfectious.
- Radioactive materials.
The restrictions for Poland are simple and clear-cut:
- Urns containing human ashes need a permit from the locality's Presidium of the Municipal Council in which you plan to bury them.
Many goods in Poland require various import permits, so to prevent any international trouble, senders should ascertain from the addressee before mailing whether the necessary documents are held.
