The same exemptions as for the other oils (§ 2(1) of the goods regulation) and the general exemptions in the Act. Full wording:

Who notifies

When oil is collected in Poland and carried to a plant in Poland, the consignor making the supply notifies (SENT100) and the consignee confirms receipt by the next working day. For carriage from another country, the consignee notifies (SENT200). The carrier completes the notification and provides SENT-GEO.

Must the VAT rate be stated in the notification for CN 1518? The regulation on additional data requires the VAT rate for headings 1507 to 1517. Heading 1518 is not mentioned in that provision.

Frequently asked questions

From when is CN 1518 subject to SENT?

From 31/10/2026. Regulation Dz.U. 2026 poz. 589 enters into force 6 months after publication. Carriages started and not completed before that day are assessed under the previous rules.

What is the threshold for CN 1518?

Threshold: gross mass above 500 kg or volume above 500 litres. The same threshold as for oils of headings 1507 to 1517.

Is used cooking oil (UCO) covered?

The regulation refers to CN heading 1518. PUESC, in its notice on the change, gives used cooking oil collected from restaurants above 500 kg or 500 litres as an example. That is the authority’s interpretation, not the text of the provision; the classification of the goods under heading 1518 decides.

Goods placed under the customs procedure of transit, storage, temporary admission, processing, export or re-export; Movement under excise duty suspension with an e-AD or a document replacing the e-AD; Unit packaging with a gross mass of not more than 26 kg or a volume of not more than 26 litres; Transfer between warehouses not linked to a VAT-taxable transaction, with a warehouse transfer document; Carriage intended for a recipient listed in the Act (incl. Polish Armed Forces, NATO forces, National Revenue Administration, Police, Border Guard, EU institutions, diplomatic missions).

Must the VAT rate be stated in the notification for CN 1518?

The regulation on additional data requires the VAT rate for headings 1507 to 1517. Heading 1518 is not mentioned in that provision. Until clarified, we show this as an open question.
