SENT and RMPD for transport in Poland

SENT is Poland’s electronic transport monitoring system. Its register covers notifications for specified goods and, through RMPD forms, for specified international and cabotage journeys by foreign carriers.

Things to know

Goods and movements in scope

The list can cover specified fuels, alcohol products, raw tobacco, waste, clothing and footwear. Check the CN code or other applicable classification, quantity or weight, type of movement and exemptions. PUESC publishes the current list. Goods notifications differ for movements starting in Poland, arriving in Poland and crossing the country in transit.

Electronic registration through PUESC

Before a monitored movement begins, the party responsible files the relevant notification. For goods monitoring, the responsible party may be the sender, recipient or carrier depending on the movement. Each party adds, updates or closes the record where its role requires it. The driver must have a valid reference number when required.

Geolocation and checks in Poland

Where location reporting is required, the carrier ensures position data are transmitted on the monitored leg. The e-TOLL PL app or a compatible registered device can be used. Match the device ID to the notification and check that it is transmitting before departure. Inspectors can compare the notification with the goods, vehicle and records.

How RMPD differs

Goods monitoring depends on the cargo and movement. RMPD depends on the basis of the journey and the status of the foreign carrier, so it can apply even when the goods are outside the SENT goods list. The foreign carrier files before starting the journey in Poland. Specific rules apply to some journeys by EU, Swiss and EFTA carriers, as explained by GITD.

Information and documents

Prepare party details, loading and delivery locations, dates, registration number, transport document and tracker ID where applicable. Goods notifications require classification and quantity information. RMPD asks for the basis of the journey, such as a permit or information about the arrangement under which one is not required. Check the fields in the relevant PUESC form.

Frequently asked questions

Can RMPD apply if my goods are not listed?

Yes. Check the foreign carrier rules separately from the goods list.

Can a journey require both notifications?

Yes, if it independently falls within both goods monitoring and the RMPD reporting duty.

Can I use any GPS device?

Use a solution that transmits to the Polish system and is linked correctly to the notification. Confirm device requirements with PUESC.
