Summary/Abstract: The adoption of the Community customs system in Poland had a great impact on business operation of companies, particularly those operating on international markets. On May 1, 2004, Poland became a member of the EU customs system and of the EU Customs Union. The accession resulted in a number of changes in legal and economic environment of business in Poland. With the adoption of the EU customs system, Polish companies received a number of new rights, but also new obligations. It has to be noted, however, that the business effects of the new legal provisions in the sphere of customs operations in Poland are largely positive. Companies benefit from simplified procedures and facilitations brought about by the liberalization of trade, such as those associated with the status of an Authorised Economic Operator (AEO).
