Send parcel to Belgium

Yes we do. Even if you select the cheapest delivery option available, every customer has the ability to check up the latest information from the courier on their parcel to Belgium online.

For this, you simply need to enter the unique ID of your parcel on our website. The first updates should appear within 24 hours.

What to do if I can't see anything after 24 hours?

This is a rare case, however, if you see no updates at all after pick up, there could be some serious issues with the labeling or packaging of your item. Because of this, you should get in touch with our support team ASAP.

Regardless of whether your parcel is of a personal or business type, it's very important to be aware of what items you can send to Belgium. Members of the European Union have pretty strict regulations for goods, so get accustomed to what's allowed and what's not.

We highly recommend studying the list of items that the country allows as well as the internal rules of EcoParcel displayed in our help section.

Forbidden items for parcel delivery to Belgium

The following categories illustrate the major item types which you are strictly forbidden to import to Belgium.

• Highly flammable items or materials
• All types of gases
• Animal remains
• Ammunition and guns
• Infectious or wasteful materials

And others.

Just like any other member of the EU, Belgium applies strict rules in terms of what the maximum weight of a single parcel can be. This information, while may be less relevant for small personal shipments, can be crucial for any e-commerce business.

Typically, the maximum allowed weight of a single parcel is from 30 up to 50 kg. Of course, this depends on what the courier company that you're sending with has stated.

If you're sending something that's heavier than that, we highly recommend splitting your parcel into multiple parts. That means if you're sending something that weighs up to 110 kilograms for example, you can split it into three parcels of 50 + 50 + 10 kg or four shipments of 30 + 30 +30 + 20 kg.

Keep this in mind, and pay attention to what the maximum weight allowed to Belgium is with your courier.

Many of our customers also ask questions regarding customs duty that their delivery to Belgium might face. To answer simply, this depends on the country of origin for your parcel.

For shipments coming to Belgium from other EU states

As Belgium is an EU member state, it's rules are much less strict on what can be imported. Because of this, no additional customs duty or documentation will be required if you send something from another EU country apart from your regular check up.

Just make sure that the item you're sending is not on the forbidden list.

For shipments coming to Belgium from the UK

Since Brexit, the EU has maintained strong trade relationships with the UK, however, this does not exempt parcels coming to the Union's territory from additional documentation and customs duty. Belgium is no exception as the country will treat your shipment as foreign origin. Expect more checkups and papers from both Belgian and UK regulators.

We all heard about how welcoming Belgian people truly are and why it's worth visiting it if one is planning out their holiday. It's strong democratic traditions of the European nations, an interesting history as well as traditions are just a few reasons to pay it a visit.

We reckon you should definitely include Belgium on your bucket list of potential countries to see and experience.

To finish off, here are some facts about Belgium to keep in mind:

• Population (as of 2021 census): around 11,4 million
• Capital city: Brussels
• Official name: Kingdom of Belgium
• Form of government: Federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy, democracy
