There was a system failure at the Polish Customs Office. In the light of that, the registration of the transport, transferring cargoes to Poland, will not be conducted in customs’ terms."

The usual passage of lorries will resume at about 8:00 on 22 April."

Details: At that, the traffic of passenger cars and buses will be conducted as usual.
