Służba Celna (Template:Lang-en) is a former Polish customs service department, subordinate to the Polish Ministry of Finance. In its current form, the Polish Customs Service was created in 1999, from the reformed Central Board of Customs (Główny Urząd Ceł). Like most custom services worldwide, the Polish Customs Service is responsible for assessing and collecting customs duties and taxes, exercising customs control, primarily at the Poland's borders. Służba Celna was a law enforcement agency.
As of March 1, 2017, the Customs Service was merged with fiscal control and tax administration within the structure of the National Revenue Administration (KAS).
