Since 1^st May 2004 there have been no customs borders between countries of the European Union and Poland. Tourists travelling to countries of the EU are not subject to any limitations as regards the amount of goods bought and transported, provided they are intended for personal use and may not be resold. The term ‘for personal use’ means that the goods transported can also be used as presents, yet their sale is tantamount to infringement of the law and may lead to confiscation and additional penalty. The vehicle used for transporting the goods may also be confiscated.

For example, the goods transported are considered as intended for personal use, if they do not exceed the established limits:
- 800 cigarettes
- 200 cigars

- 10 litres of spirits
- 20 litres of fortified wine (e.g. sherry or port)
