Page "Economy of Poland" Paragraph 4

Most of Poland's imports are capital goods needed for industrial retooling and for manufacturing inputs, rather than imports for consumption.

Therefore, a deficit is expected and should even be regarded as positive at this point.

Poland is a founding member of the World Trade Organization and member of the European Union.

It applies the EU's common external tariff to goods from other countries ( including the U. S .).

Most Polish exports to the U. S. receive tariff benefits under the Generalized System of Preferences ( GSP ) program.
