Shipping to Poland from Florida, Georgia or the Carolinas depends on how much you're sending. A whole household goes in a 40-foot high-cube (40HC). Where your quote confirms it, the container is placed at your address for you to load, and your car can ride in it too if it's empty inside. A smaller load travels as shared LCL, priced per cubic meter with a 1 m³ minimum. When the container sails from the Port of Savannah, the ocean leg to Gdynia takes about 18–24 days and the whole shipment typically 5–6 weeks door-to-door. We clear household goods through customs in Gdynia and deliver to your address in Poland. The loading port and timing for your shipment are confirmed in your quote.
Moving from Florida or Georgia to Poland with a family firm
We've been a family-run company since 1994, and we're licensed as an NVOCC by the US Federal Maritime Commission (FMC). If you're moving from Georgia, Florida or the Carolinas, this is what we offer.
A location in Savannah, Georgia
Our Savannah location is one of several. The company is headquartered in Irvington, New Jersey, where our warehouse is too, and we have further locations in Houston and Montreal. In Poland, our base is at Krze Duże near Radziejowice.
A 40HC at your address
A full 40-foot high-cube can be placed at your address for you to load within a set loading window. When we prepare your quote, we confirm whether that's possible where you live. Time beyond the window is billed by the hour, and part of an hour counts as a full hour. Where it's available in your area, our staff can load it for an extra fee.
Car, motorcycle and household goods together
A car can share the 40HC with your furniture and a motorcycle, as long as the car is empty inside.
Cars from Copart and IAAI auctions
Cars bought at Copart or IAAI auctions go to Poland in 40-foot containers. Send the VIN or lot number and we'll quote it.
Shared LCL from 1 m³
Smaller moves travel as shared LCL, charged by the cubic meter your things take up, with a 1 m³ minimum. Boxes sent to our Irvington, NJ warehouse are consolidated there.
Customs in Gdynia, then your door
Once your shipment reaches Gdynia, we clear household goods through customs for you under your power of attorney, then deliver to your door in Poland. The forms are on the Forms page of our site.

Your quote confirms how loading works where you live. For a whole household, a 40HC can be placed at your address for you to load within the loading window, or our staff can load it for an extra fee where that's available in your area. For a smaller LCL load, we agree how it reaches us.

Shipping from the Southeast to Poland: your questions
We decide that when we prepare your quote. The loading port is chosen for each shipment separately, and your quote names the port together with the expected door-to-door time. For typical sailing times from each port, see the table further down this page.
About 18–24 days at sea. Door-to-door, counting loading at your address, the voyage, customs clearance in Gdynia and delivery to your address in Poland, a shipment through Savannah typically takes 5–6 weeks. The exact time depends on the sailing date, so we confirm it in your quote.
Plan the paperwork around your moving date. For export by ship, the car and its documents have to be presented to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at least 72 hours before export, so this can't wait until the last day. CBP requires the original certificate of title, or a certified copy of it, and two complete copies. For a leased car, or one with a lien, you'll also need a letter on the lender's or leasing company's letterhead expressly allowing the export. After that, your car can travel in the same 40HC as your furniture, provided it's empty inside.
Not necessarily. Duty relief on household goods applies when you move your residence to Poland from outside the EU and meet its conditions. According to the Polish government portal powroty.gov.pl, the goods must belong to someone whose place of residence was outside the EU for at least 12 months, and physically living somewhere without intending to stay permanently does not establish residence, nor does that intention alone without actually living there. You must also have owned and used the goods at your previous residence for at least 6 months before you stopped living there, and you must use them for the same purpose in your new home. If you only spend part of the year in Florida, check these conditions before you count on relief. The customs authority decides each case, and duty relief does not by itself mean relief from VAT or excise duty. We clear household goods in Gdynia using your power of attorney, and the forms are in the Forms section of our site.
To our warehouse at 918 Clinton Ave, Irvington, NJ 07111. We consolidate boxes there into a shared LCL container, which is priced per cubic meter with a 1 m³ minimum. If your boxes add up to less than 1 m³, you pay the 1 m³ minimum. Tell us what you're sending when you ask for a quote.
Check with your HOA or community management first: ask whether a 40-foot container can be parked in your driveway or on the street outside your house while you load, and whether a truck can get through the gate. Put what they tell you in your request, and when we prepare your quote we confirm whether the container can be placed at your address. You then load it yourself within a set loading window, and extra time is billed by the hour. If you'd rather not lift, our staff can load it for an extra fee where that's available in your area.
Yes. We ship cars bought at Copart and IAAI auctions to Poland in 40-foot containers. Send us the VIN or lot number and we'll quote it. When we prepare your quote, we confirm how the car gets from the auction yard to the loading port and which port it will sail from.
Every shipment is priced individually, so we don't publish a price list. A full 40HC gets its own quote, and shared LCL is priced per cubic meter with a 1 m³ minimum. Send us the details and you'll get a free quote within 24 hours.
