Today, I’d like to discuss an issue that often happens to our clients. Let’s suppose someone wants to move to Poland from the UK. When they planned their move, they didn’t realise they needed to complete specific steps to ship their belongings to Poland without any problems before booking the service. Here’s to what happened.
A client intends to move from the UK to Poland, unaware of the Polish customs rules. The vibrant culture and full-size gingerbread houses blind the ability to see the stones blocking their way to this new life. The starting worries steered between adaptation and the language barrier, but making the journey from the UK to Poland was the real issue they had to be aware of.
As lightning cuts the sky, this crucial document struck the idea of a calm process they first aimed for. They understood that without a Pesel Number (Powszechny Elektroniczny System Ewidencji Ludnośc), there’d be no deal for customs clearance in Poland. This number is like an ID for residents in Poland and is essential for various official processes.
What a bummer. The clock was ticking, and the client wanted to avoid even more delays. So, accepting their fate, they found a way to store their belongings in the UK and flew to Poland to sort out this requirement. By this point, the catch was in their hands; we could do nothing except advise them on the best way to get this through.
With the document in hand, they had to acknowledge a colossal disappointment had happened. Despite having the Pesel Number, the document wasn’t registered with the Polish Tax Office, which is necessary for customs clearance. Empathy comes in handy in times like these. It’s comprehensible that tiredness can make us commit mistakes and let things slip through our fingers. That’s why we reinforce the paramount attentiveness in processes like this.
Out of breath and on the verge of bursting into tears. They headed to the Tax Office in Poland to fix this. After applying for the registration of their Pesel Number, a couple of days later, everything was sorted out. This meant their goods could finally be cleared through customs.
With the obstacles overcome, our team took place in the story. The goods we collected from storage were carefully handled and arranged in the van. The successes were achieved by taking the following steps: everything was successfully shipped to Poland and delivered to their doorstep without any more problems.
Firstly, always research the customs regulations of your destination country. Let’s remember that securing a Pesel Number is just the beginning in Poland. This number must be registered with the Tax Office to proceed with your transition. This step is non-negotiable for customs clearance. So, be sure to discover these requirements before the last minute. Instead, plan. Contact the embassy or consult with moving experts who understand these intricacies. They can provide invaluable advice on how moving services go and help you avoid unnecessary delays. Knowledge is power, especially when moving internationally.
Secondly, enlist professional help early on. Companies like VanOne International Movers specialise in navigating the complex waters of international relocation and offering comprehensive services that cover everything from obtaining the correct documents to shipping your belongings securely. It would help if you focused on settling into your new home rather than getting bogged down by bureaucratic red tape.
