Cushman & Wakefield, the international real estate services firm, has released its overview of the Polish warehouse market at the end of Q2 2026. The second quarter brought further strengthening of demand and growing occupier activity, while developers adopted a more cautious approach. The market is gradually moving towards greater balance, as reflected in declining vacancy rates and stable rental levels.
From 1 July 2026, e-commerce shipments valued at up to EUR 150 imported from outside the European Union will no longer be exempt from customs duties. Instead, during a transitional period – initially planned to last until 1 July 2028 – these shipments will be subject to a fee of EUR 3 per tariff line item, rather than per individual product. This means a single charge for five identical T-shirts but two charges for a T-shirt and a pair of shoes. Although this appears to be a purely technical adjustment, it could significantly affect the business model of non-EU platforms, especially Asian e-commerce players that have so far relied heavily on direct shipments to European consumers in their sales strategies.
