Does Kroscienko take trucks over 7.5 t?

Where does the Kroscienko figure come from?

From granica.gov.pl. It is the Polish services' estimate for leaving Poland, updated 8 times a day, and the page asks for it at most once every 15 minutes. The queue into Poland exists only in eCherha.

How do I queue to enter Poland at Kroscienko?

Through eCherha. Book a place on echerha.gov.ua in the queue that fits the vehicle (up to 7.5 t). Without a booking the Ukrainian border guard will not let the truck onto the crossing.

Cameras at the crossing

There is no camera that can be opened at this crossing right now, on either the Polish or the Ukrainian side. The Polish services stopped showing crossing cameras in April 2022 because of the war (granica.gov.pl notice), and the Ukrainian border guard's crossing map leaves the camera field empty for every crossing. Unofficial "border camera" sites checked on 30.10.2026 show a switched-off notice, so we do not link to them. The closest thing to a live picture is the traffic map, with the red line of the queue before the crossing.

Which trucks Kroscienko accepts

The Kroscienko / Smilnytsia crossing is open around the clock. When leaving Poland, the Polish services clear trucks up to 7.5 t here, and the figure at the top of the page is for that class. Cars cross here too, in a separate queue that does not affect the truck time.

In the other direction, from Ukraine into Poland, eCherha keeps these queues at this crossing: up to 7.5 t. A vehicle that fits none of them will not be let onto this crossing and has to be planned for another.

Since 16.03.2006 Kroscienko has cleared vehicles up to 7.5 t of any nationality, except loads under sanitary, veterinary and phytosanitary control and dangerous goods (Straż Graniczna). Polish and Ukrainian controls work together on the Polish side.

How a truck joins the eCherha queue at Smilnytsia

Without an eCherha booking the Ukrainian border guard does not let a truck onto the crossing when leaving Ukraine (p. 10 of the Order under Cabinet of Ministers resolution no. 1411). Booking is free, one place per vehicle at a time, and the queues are split by mass, load and goods group (p. 11 of the Rules under order no. 1028).

The portal lists no waiting zone for this crossing. The Polish route has two: Terminal M11 at Shehyni and Trushevychi, attached to the Nyzhankovychi crossing. A truck does not have to enter a zone anyway (p. 22 of the Order), but the rules do not allow queuing on the road itself.

Booking, deferring entry and avoiding a block are covered in how eCherha works and when to file the RMPD. All eight crossings compared by vehicle type are in truck border queues into Poland.

What to check before driving to the crossing

Leaving Ukraine, it is an eCherha booking for the right vehicle in the right queue. The goods documents for customs (export declaration, transit document or TIR carnet) and the CMR consignment note travel with the driver.

Before entering Poland, a truck over 2.5 t run by a carrier from outside the EU needs an RMPD reference number (art. 28b of the Polish Road Transport Act). The driver shows it at a check, and the filing must match the CMR one to one.

RMPD for a trip through Kroscienko

The RMPD filing is made before entering Poland. Without it, or with incomplete data, the carrier pays 12 000 zł (załącznik nr 3, lp. 3.2a), and a driver who cannot show the number pays another 1 500 zł. The SENT and RMPD penalty calculator works out your own figure.

The number is valid for ten days, and the start date cannot sit more than nine days after registration. So the filing is made once eCherha shows the real entry day, not on the day of booking.
