Romania, Hungary, and Slovakia will not restrict the transit of agricultural products from Ukraine, but negotiations are ongoing regarding imports into their territory. Imports to Poland in transit mode will be resumed with a T1 declaration using the SENT system, which allows tracking the movement of cargo through Poland and seals for cargo.

This was announced by the Minister of Agrarian Policy Mykola Solsky at an extraordinary meeting of the Coordination Council under the Ministry of Agrarian Policy on Tuesday evening.

According to him, the consignments of agricultural products that will be imported to Poland in transit from 00:00 on April 21 will continue to move through the country accompanied by Polish customs officials.

The issue of transit by rail with reloading from wide-rail cars (for 1520 mm gauge) to narrow-rail cars (for 1435 mm gauge) is still open. Details of the procedure are expected to be communicated to market participants tomorrow at the Coordination Council under the Ministry of Agriculture, which is scheduled for 10:30 am.

The ban on the import of agricultural products according to the list in the annex to the order of the Minister of Development and Technology of Poland Waldemar Buda of April 15, 2023 has not been canceled.
