How do I prepare my parcel for a foreign destination?

  • Place your shipment in a strong box and fill the box with filler material like old newspapers. You can use your own box or a bpost box.
  • Seal the box with tape. Make sure that there are no labels on the box from a previous shipment.
  • Check whether the box falls within the permitted dimensions. The longest side may be maximum 1.5 m and all sides together may be maximum 3 m. Your parcel cannot weigh more than 30 kg.

These preparations are the same if you want to send a parcel within Belgium, within the EU and outside the EU. The shipping costs differ.
