Air Shipments from the USA

The United States is a country where approximately nine million Poles currently reside. This is a very large number that continues to grow. No wonder that for more than a decade, air shipments from the USA have been enjoying increasing popularity. Packages to Poland from the USA are sent by both private individuals and various types of businesses. While until recently most shipments were made mainly through traditional mail, currently air shipments from the USA can also be sent through vigorously operating courier companies.

How to send a package to Poland via courier?

Courier companies deliver shipments from the USA to Poland both by air and sea transport. A package from the USA via courier is undoubtedly the most convenient form for the sender. To carry out shipping this way, it is usually enough to find the right courier company and then fill out the appropriate form on its website. In the form, you need to provide your personal details, the dimensions and weight of the package, as well as the exact address of the recipient. Based on this information, the amount to be paid is automatically generated, and after payment, we obtain a special international waybill, which is necessary for the air or sea shipment from the USA to safely reach the addressee we indicated. One copy of the waybill remains with the sender, while the second is kept by the courier company. The entire shipping process can be tracked online by entering the number assigned to the package on the courier's website.

How much does a shipment from the USA cost?

When wondering how much a shipment from the USA costs, it should be remembered that the final price will depend on many different factors. First of all, shipping from the USA to Poland can take place by air or sea, and its price will depend, among other things, on the size of the package and its dimensions. If an air shipment is exceptionally large but light, then its weight may be calculated according to dimensions (this is the so-called dimensional weight).

It is also worth knowing that according to the applicable customs regulations, most air shipments declared as a "gift" with a value not exceeding forty euros may be exempt from customs duties. If, however, a package from the USA to Poland exceeds the above-mentioned value, it may be detained for customs clearance, and the customs agency will notify the recipient about the necessity to pay customs and tax fees and will provide their exact amount.
