Freight Transport from Estonia to Poland
Poland is the most important transit country on the Estonia-Germany corridor — and a major destination in its own right. 4Logistics runs FTL and LTL freight from Tallinn to Warsaw, Krakow, Gdansk, Poznan, Wroclaw. Typical transit is 1-2 days FTL and 3-4 days LTL.
The route is intra-EU within Schengen — no border control Estonia-Latvia-Lithuania-Poland. The main corridor is Via Baltica (E67/E77) running the length of the Baltics.
