ZMPD

What ZMPD does

ZMPD (Zrzeszenie Mi\u0119dzynarodowych Przewo\u017anik\u00f3w Drogowych w Polsce), the Association of International Road Carriers in Poland, is a member-based non-profit association founded in 1965 and headquartered in Warsaw. It serves Polish road transport companies engaged in international freight across Europe and beyond, representing thousands of carriers through 16 regional divisions plus international representations in Brussels, Moscow, Brest, Smolensk, and Germany.

The organization operates as Poland's sole guaranteeing association for the TIR Convention and acts as g\u0142\u00f3wny zobowi\u0105zany (main obligor) for T1/T2 customs transit procedures under the WPT Convention. Its product portfolio spans TIR carnets and T1/T2 transit guarantees, electronic toll collection via the ZMPDbox interoperable device (partnered with Toll4Europe), VAT and excise recovery across EU and select non-EU markets, insurance agency services (OCP, cabotage, travel), visa assistance for drivers, online professional competency training, and EORI number registration support. Underlying technology includes NCTS integration for customs transit, the IRU TIR-EPD electronic pre-declaration application, and a member portal at zmpd.pl.

Revenue is generated through annual membership subscriptions, transaction fees on TIR carnet issuance and transit guarantees, usage-based fees for ZMPDbox toll processing, commissions on insurance placements with TUEuropa and InterRisk, professional service fees for VAT recovery and visas, and free training for members. The association is governed by an Assembly of Delegates, Council, and Board led by President Jan Buczek, who also sits on the IRU Presidency. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with ~30 staff supporting operations.
