Shipped a 40' container with personal contents to Gdynia — delivered to me 750 km away. No problem! Better price and service than the rest of the shippers.
The car was delivered to the door of the house in Kraków, exactly as promised. Great customer service and support throughout.
Very professional with our household-goods shipment to Poland. All the customs formalities were handled on our behalf, and two days after the ship reached the port of Gdynia we had everything at home.
Great service, the best prices, and a very nice, professional team. Cooperation with Leśniewski is a pleasure at every step.

Exclusions, documents and common mistakes, based on official sources.Container shippingHow long does a container take from the USA to Europe?A container from New Jersey to Gdynia spends 16–20 days at sea, and door-to-door in Poland usually takes 4–6 weeks. Here is every step of the journey, plus what speeds it up and what slows it down.Car importHow much does it cost to import a car from the USA?The cost of importing a car from the USA is made up of several parts: the winning bid, Copart or IAA fees, transport to the port and across the ocean, import duty, excise, VAT and registration.

Frequently asked questions
Don't see your question? Just call us. We answer in English and Polish on both sides of the Atlantic.
Typically 4–6 weeks from US loading to doorstep delivery in Europe. The ocean leg takes about 16–20 days from New Jersey (up to about 38 days from Los Angeles); the rest is US loading, European customs clearance, and inland transport.
Yes. We provide full customs clearance at the European port of entry — VAT, duty, excise, vehicle paperwork. You don't have to visit any office in person.
