New or used: condition codes in listings
Listings of used containers, especially shipping containers, often include abbreviations describing their condition:
New / one-trip: an almost new container, usually after a single voyage with cargo.
CW (cargo worthy): a condition that allows further sea transport.
WWT (wind and water tight): a tight container that lets in neither wind nor water, but does not have to be fit for sea transport. For storing things on land it is usually enough.
As-is: sold with no guarantee of condition. Buy it only after a careful inspection.
Sellers do not always use these codes the same way, so ask what exactly they mean in a given offer and view the container before buying. What to look at (corrosion, roof, doors, floor) is described in the containers category.
Buying from a company or a private individual: invoice and PCC tax
A container is usually bought as a movable item, and the rules depend on who is selling:
From a company registered for VAT: you get an invoice, the price includes VAT, and you do not pay the civil law transactions tax (PCC).
From a private individual: if the market value of the container exceeds 1,000 zloty, you pay 2% PCC. The tax is calculated on the market value, not on the price in the contract. It is paid by the buyer, who files a PCC-3 return and pays the tax to the tax office within 14 days of signing the contract.
When buying from a private individual, write a sale contract: details of the parties, a description of the container (type, size, the number on its side, if there is one), the price, a description of its condition and the collection date. If you have doubts about how a specific transaction is taxed, for example when the container is permanently fixed to the ground, ask an accountant or the tax office.
Transport after purchase: who arranges and pays
If the container is at the seller's, you usually arrange and pay for the transport. Before buying, agree:
who pays for loading at the seller's,
how long the container can stay there before you collect it, and put this date in the contract,
what transport is needed: containers are usually moved by a truck with a crane, so ask the carrier which weight and dimensions they need to know.
What to look out for at the spot where the container will stand (ground, access, obstacles above the unloading spot) is described with containers for rent. The formalities of placing a container on your own land are covered in the article warehouse or container.
If instead of a container you are looking for property, meaning a warehouse in a building to own, see warehouses for sale. Have a container to sell? You can add a listing for free by following the guide to adding a listing.
Common questions
When buying from a private individual and the container's market value exceeds 1,000 zloty, you pay 2% PCC and file PCC-3 within 14 days. When buying from a company with a VAT invoice, PCC does not apply.
Yes, and it is worth doing, especially with containers sold "as is". Arrange a visit with the seller and check the container on site.
If you need it for a few months, renting usually works out cheaper. If you need it for years, buying is often the more sensible choice. In both cases, add the cost of transport.
