Sea freight, air freight and car shipping from Dubai to Poland through Gdańsk and Gdynia, with customs clearance and delivery by our network partner office in Poland.
Overview
MegaSpeed Cargo ships full containers, cars, machinery and air cargo from Dubai to Poland. Sea freight leaves Jebel Ali for Gdańsk or Gdynia on the Baltic, and air cargo flies to Warsaw. Our network partner office in Poland handles customs clearance and delivery.
Gdańsk has one of the few deep-water container terminals on the Baltic that takes the largest ships from Asia and the Gulf. Some services also land in Hamburg or Bremerhaven and reach Poland by truck or rail.
Polish importers ship machinery, spare parts and consumer goods from Dubai with us. Send us the details and we will compare the direct Baltic route with routing via Germany.

Gdańsk takes the large deep-sea ships; Gdynia handles feeder and regional services. For southern Poland, routing via Germany can be quicker.

From the port, cargo goes by truck or rail to the receiver. Our network partner office arranges delivery to Warsaw, Łódź, Poznań, Wrocław, Kraków and elsewhere.
Dubai and Poland
Our Dubai team runs the export side. Our network partner office in Poland handles the arrival side, so you deal with one company from quote to delivery.
The importer provides the EORI number and pays the duty and VAT. We quote destination charges separately, so you see them before you book.
Car shipping
UAE cars are left-hand drive, like Polish cars. Besides EU duty and VAT, Poland charges excise duty on cars, at a rate that depends on engine size.
| Container | RoRo (roll-on roll-off) | Air freight | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How it travels | Secured inside a 20ft or 40ft container | Driven onto a vehicle carrier, then parked on a secure deck | Secured on an aircraft pallet and flown as air cargo |
| Capacity | Up to 6 cars in a 40ft container | One vehicle per booking, any size the vessel accepts | One car per booking, within the aircraft size limits |
| Suits | High-value, classic or modified cars, and also non-running vehicles | Running cars, trucks and machinery on wheels, especially on a budget | Supercars, classics and cars needed urgently |
| Speed and cost | Regular sailings to the main ports at sea freight rates | Depends on current RoRo sailings to Baltic ports; we confirm when you ask | Fastest option, at a higher cost than sea |
The excise jump above 2,000 cc makes large engines much more expensive in Poland. Ask us for an estimate before you buy. For a short stay only, see shipping a car with a carnet.
Customs
Poland applies EU customs rules through the National Revenue Administration (KAS). Duty follows the common EU tariff; VAT and excise follow Polish rates.
Documents
We check the paperwork with you before booking, so the cargo is not held on arrival.
How it works
Six steps, one point of contact.
First, tell us what you are shipping, where it is now and where it needs to go in Poland.
We recommend the method and route, then quote the Dubai side and the destination side clearly.
Next, we book the sailing or flight and also confirm the paperwork for both countries.
We collect the cargo in the UAE, then load it at Jebel Ali and clear it for export.
You receive the Bill of Lading or Air Waybill and updates until arrival.
Finally, our network partner office clears the goods through customs in Poland and arranges delivery.
Cost
Freight rates change with the market, so we quote each shipment on current rates. These are the factors that move the price.
Sea freight is priced per container, while air freight is priced on chargeable weight from a 45 kg minimum.
Port-to-port costs less, because door delivery adds destination handling, clearance and trucking.
Charged by Polish Customs (KAS) on the customs value. Also, they are paid separately from freight.
FAQ
It depends on the method, the port and the sailing or flight you book. Air freight takes days, while sea freight takes several weeks, depending on the routing. We confirm the current transit time with each quote.
The price depends on the volume or weight, sea or air, port or door delivery, and current freight rates. Duty and VAT are paid on top of freight. Send us your cargo details for a quote based on this week's rates.
Air cargo starts at 45 kg chargeable weight. We are a freight forwarder, not a courier, so we do not ship documents or small parcels. Chargeable weight is the actual or the volumetric weight, whichever is higher.
We work with a network partner office in Poland. It handles customs clearance, release and delivery, while our Dubai team manages booking, export clearance and your updates.
Gdańsk and Gdynia on the Baltic, or via Hamburg with onward trucking or rail. Air cargo flies to Warsaw.
Yes. Cars travel in a container, by RoRo where a service runs, or by air when speed matters. UAE cars are left-hand drive, but GCC-specification cars often lack EU type approval, so check that the car can be registered in Poland before you buy.
For a passenger car from outside the EU, import duty is normally 10%, excise 3.1% for engines up to 2,000 cc or 18.6% above, and VAT 23% on the total.
Possibly. Transfer of residence relief can waive duty and VAT if you lived outside the EU for at least 12 months and owned and used the car for at least 6 months before moving. The car cannot be sold or lent for 12 months after import, and customs decides each case.
Yes. Our network partner office clears the shipment and delivers it to your address anywhere in Poland. Port-to-port shipping is also available if you use your own customs broker.
