Details
Consumer Drone is generally allowed for personal-use carriage into Poland.

EU customs harmonisation and EU Regulation 608/2013 IPR enforcement apply alongside national rules. Personal-import duty-free threshold is 0 EUR (since 2021 EU IOSS reform); carriage above the threshold attracts duty + 23% VAT.
Leaving with this item
Consumer drones may generally be exported from Poland for personal use; higher-specification drones face dual-use controls and many destinations restrict drone import.
IATA dangerous goods

Practical advice
Walk the Green Channel for single-unit personal effects. For multiple units or high-value items, declare at Red Channel + present purchase receipts. National Revenue Administration (KAS) — Customs Service publishes the current personal-allowance schedule at https://www.podatki.gov.pl/clo-en/.
