Duty rules - threshold for paying duty on goods?

BLS 65 | 188

What is the threshold for paying duty on packages mailed from America to Poland? I have always heard $25, but one of my colleagues claims that this amount varies depending on the contents. Also, he says that used items typically are not charged duty regardless of their worth - I find that hard to believe...

Does anyone have knowledge of these rules or a office/website that outlines these rules? Thanks in advance for all constructive input!

I understand it is €40.

I have had to pay duty on used items in just the same way as new ones.

What if it is your stuff from home?

Contact the nearest polish consulate for that information.
