Switzerland–Poland: Central Europe's largest economy

Poland is the most dynamic market in Central Europe with nearly 38 million inhabitants and steady economic growth. The Polish manufacturing sector — automotive, electronics, machinery — is absorbing increasing volumes of Swiss components, making this corridor ever more strategic.

Franzosini reaches Western Poland (Poznań, Wrocław) in 72–96 hours via Germany and Southern Poland (Katowice, Krakow) in similar times via Austria. Warsaw and Central Poland in 96–120 hours with last-mile distribution across the entire country.

We manage export customs clearance from Switzerland and compliance with Polish regulations, including the VAT split-payment regime for certain product categories. Poland is also a strategic hub for redistribution to the Baltic and Ukrainian markets.

EU duties and preferential origin

The EU Common Customs Tariff (TARIC) applies. Industrial products of Swiss preferential origin may benefit from zero ordinary customs duty under the applicable agreement and with valid proof of origin. Specific tariff concessions must be checked for agricultural and food products. Quotas, trade-defence measures and other charges must still be checked against the commodity code and origin: proof of preferential origin does not automatically remove these measures. Poland is a major distribution hub for eastern Europe.
