When can I follow my parcel with Track & Trace?
FAQ
Residential
As soon as bpost has received your shipment, you can track its progress via the My bpost app or Track & Trace using the barcode. You will often receive an email from the sender when your barcode is created. In most cases, you will not be able to track your parcel immediately via our Track & Trace . This is because it is still being prepared by the sender and therefore has not yet been handed over to bpost. As soon as the sender hands your parcel over to bpost, you will be able to track it.

, follow your parcel online
, with: Track & Trace the My bpost app If you have a bpost account , you can also follow your parcel in the bpost shipping tool. You'll need the barcode number of your parcel.

, My parcel comes from inside the European Union
, There is no default import procedure. If it wants to, customs can check shipments from inside the European Union. Some regions of the EU are also subject to customs duties and VAT because they are not part of the EU customs territory, even if they belong to the geographical territory of the EU (e.g. the Canary Islands).
, My parcel comes from outside the European Union
, In this case an import procedure for your parcel will start upon its arrival in Belgium. The duration of this procedure depends on the following: Whether or not you already paid VAT on your shipment via the online shop The value of your shipment If you did not pay any VAT in advance or your shipment is worth more than €150, the bpost customs clearance service must first determine the import costs. To do this, the value of the contents of your shipment must be known (based on the invoice). If this is not provided, bpost will ask you to upload the invoice of your purchase online. You have 14 days to pay the import costs (VAT, import duties or any other customs fees and formalities). Most shipments are cleared within a week. In this phase, your goods are declared to Belgian customs. Customs has the right to check the content of your shipment. Please allow an additional 3 to 7 days for delivery in case of extra inspections.

FAQ
Residential
Paying import costs is a legal obligation when you order something from outside the EU. In addition to paying, you have the following options:
, I agree to pay but disagree with the amount
, The calculated import costs are based on the estimated value of the contents (based on the invoice), the official VAT rates and the customs duties applicable on the goods being shipped. If you can prove that the value was not estimated correctly, you can request a recalculation. In some cases, shipments are exempt from VAT and customs duties. You can request a recalculation in the following cases: shipments sent as a gift a diplomat receives a shipment a shipment is reimported Enter the barcode of your shipment into Track & Trace or the My bpost app. You will find the dispute form above the payment button. Once we receive your request, the payment deadline will be cancelled. Your request will be reviewed and either accepted or declined. You will be able to see the result in Track & Trace and in the My bpost app, and you will receive a new payment request with a payment deadline. If the shipment can be imported free of charge, you will be notified. The shipment is then presented to Belgian customs for clearance.
, I refuse to pay the import costs
, If you refuse to pay the import costs, we will not be able to deliver your shipment and it will be returned to sender. You can contact the sender to see if the purchase value can be fully or partially refunded to you. You can refuse to pay online. To do so, enter the barcode of your shipment via Track & Trace or the My bpost app. You will find the 'refuse' button next to the payment button.
