Frequently asked questions about crossing the border Ukraine — Poland
What is the Tax Free lane at the Polish border?
Tax Free is a VAT refund system (~23% in Poland) for non-EU citizens who bought goods in Poland. To get the refund you must clear customs via the dedicated Red Lane with the original goods and receipts.
Which checkpoints have a Tax Free lane?
Krakovets-Korczowa, Shehyni-Medyka, Rava-Ruska-Hrebenne, and Yagodyn-Dorohusk have Tax Free Red Lanes. Smaller crossings may not — check before travel.
How long is the Tax Free lane wait?
30 min to 2–3 hours typically; on peak days the queue can be much longer. The standard lane is often faster if a VAT refund isn't critical.
