🇵🇱How to verify a supplier in Poland
To verify a supplier in Poland, look the company up in the official KRS (National Court Register) + CEIDG for sole traders for free and confirm it is registered and currently active. The registry returns registered name, KRS number, address, management board, and status; sole traders are in CEIDG (ceidg.gov.pl) instead.

क्षेत्रवार निर्यात लाइसेंस
Being a registered, active company is not the same as being allowed to export a specific product. In Poland, some goods need their own export licence or certificate from a named body. Each entry says which goods it covers and when it applies; an entry marked “scope not checked” names the body, but we have not yet checked its product scope and conditions against the legal text, so confirm with that body whether it applies to your goods.

phytosanitary certificate for export from the State Plant Health and Seed Inspection Service (PIORiN), voivodeship inspector.
Covers: plants, plant products and other objects, including wood, exported from the EU to a third country
When: Only when the import rules of the destination (or transit) third country require one; PIORiN refuses to issue it when that country does not.
Legal basis: Regulation (EU) 2016/2031, Article 100(1) (checked 2026-10-09)
First check whether the destination country requires a phytosanitary certificate for this wood; if it does, ask for the PIORiN certificate number for the consignment and confirm it with the issuing voivodeship PIORiN inspectorate.

Before you sign: five asks no registry can answer
The register proves the company exists and who signs. It says nothing about whether the supplier survives a bad quarter, a fire or a key person leaving. Serious suppliers answer these five asks without friction; hesitation on any of them is information too.
- Business continuity: what happens to your order if their plant loses power, a strike hits or their systems go down? Ask for the plan, not a reassurance.
- Liability insurance: is product or professional liability insured, with which insurer and to what ceiling? A certificate of insurance is a one-page email for a real firm.
- Exit terms: how do you terminate if it goes wrong, what notice and fees apply, and how do you get your tooling, molds or data back?
- Support in numbers: ask for response and resolution times as figures, not adjectives. A supplier who commits to hours in writing has a support process; one who writes fast support does not.
- Named people: who exactly runs production and who owns your account? Continuity of a named team matters more than a polished sales deck, and employee-review sites often show whether that team stays.
General commercial hygiene, not legal advice.
