Poland has strengthened the requirements for international transportation on its territory

As already mentioned earlier, from November 1, the Polish authorities introduced mandatory electronic registration for foreign carriers, in particular Ukrainian ones.

Carriers will be required to register their shipments in the electronic transport surveillance system (SENT) before crossing the Polish border, regardless of the type of cargo being transported.

It is also emphasized that the driver of the vehicle must always carry the RMPD registration number from the SENT system or a substitute document.

According to the Polish authorities, companies from countries outside the EU, Switzerland and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) must also ensure the continuous transmission of geolocation data of the vehicle.

The truck must have a locator or an external localization system, and the driver must turn on the locator before starting transportation.
