Legal and Managerial Support for Agricultural Exports via Poland
Exporting agricultural products through Poland is a complex process that requires not only a deep understanding of Polish and EU law, but also the ability to coordinate logistics, veterinary permits, rail transport, and customs procedures. I specialize in supporting such export projects for the agricultural sector, combining legal precision with hands-on management of all supply chain stages.
My goal is to provide full legal and logistical support from contract signing to the successful export of goods — without delays, disruptions, or business risks.
What does comprehensive agri-export support via Poland include?
1. Contractual groundwork
drafting purchase-sale agreements between Ukrainian and Polish legal entities;
preparing storage, transshipment, and transport service agreements;
adapting contracts to the requirements of Polish law and EU agri-market standards.
2. Logistics support
concluding agreements with PKP Cargo and other carriers;
preparing the full set of transport documents for rail shipment of grain;
monitoring schedules, coordinating loading and transit points.
3. Permits and customs formalities
support in obtaining veterinary permits for transit/import;
preparing documents for customs clearance of agricultural products;
ensuring compliance with Polish and EU regulations in agri-import/export.
4. Full project management
coordinating interactions between all parties: Ukrainian producers, Polish companies, logistics providers, customs officials, and veterinary services;
monitoring compliance with deadlines, transport conditions, and legal formalities;
managing risks related to delays, penalties, or refusal of goods entry.
Example of a successful case
Situation: Export of Ukrainian-origin grain via Poland on behalf of a Polish company — a subsidiary of an international agribusiness group.
Actions:
legal support for contracts between Ukrainian and Polish parties;
signing transport agreements with PKP Cargo;
support with veterinary and customs procedures;
coordinating the “warehouse-to-warehouse” logistics chain;
managing all organizational processes.
Result: The goods were delivered to the destination without delays or violations, with full compliance with legal and logistical requirements. The client avoided cargo blockage and administrative sanctions.
