Sorry if this is in the wrong place I didn't know where to ask this.


I just sent a present to a friend of mine in poland (for Christmas). It was only $44 after shipping and handling.

My question is will there be an import tax or fee charged to my bank account when it arrives in Poland? It's shipping via FED EX.

The reason I'm concerned it I just spent a lot of money on gifts and I have run my account to nearly nothing. I'm worried I will get charged some tax or fee and overdraft on my account and be charged a crazy fee by my bank.


If anyone knows PLEASE let me know asap so I can avoid this.



Thanks : )

Normally the person receiving it pays any additional taxes.

First question, how would they get your bank account details in Poland.

You are the sender NOT the receiver, it is the receiver ( end user) who imports and pays taxes

Thanks so much. I understand now.

Since this is a gift to someone, do you think I should send them money to cover the tax? It seems unfair for someone to have to pay for a christmas gift they've recieved. Is this customary?
