The main topics of the meeting included the peculiarities and procedure for using the SENT system for transportation to and through the territory of Poland, transportation for “own needs”, permits for transportation to/from third countries, and the duration of drivers’ stay in the territory of the other party.
“Starting from November 1, freight carriers traveling to or through Poland will have to register in the Polish SENT system in accordance with the recently adopted law. Therefore, I urge Ukrainian carriers to study in detail the features of the system and use it to protect themselves from potential fines. We also expect detailed explanations from our Polish colleagues and called on them to ensure that the system works in Ukrainian, as, for example, the eChecha system for crossing the border works in Ukraine, which is also used by carriers from neighboring countries,” said Deputy Minister Serhiy Derkach.
