How quickly will my letter be delivered abroad?
FAQResidential
The delivery time for letters to foreign countries depends on different factors: The destination: your letter is usually delivered faster within Europe than outside Europe Postal delivery in the destination country: foreign postal services might not distribute letters daily Local holidays Within Belgium, your international letter (or registered mail) is treated as priority mail until it reaches the border. This is not necessarily the case in the destination country.
, Indicative delivery period of letters in foreign countries
, To our neighbouring countries: 2 to 3 working days To other European countries: 3 to 6 working days To the rest of the world: 5 to 20 working days Since bpost has no influence on the postal process in other countries, the delivery period may differ from the indicative delivery period.

Why do I have to pay for the import of a shipment?
FAQResidential
My shipment is coming from within the EU
, 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 shipment is coming from outside the EU
, In accordance with European customs legislation and VAT regulations, you must pay taxes (customs duties, VAT, excise duty and administrative processing charges) on all commercial shipments from outside the EU. Your shipment will only be delivered if you pay these charges within 14 days of receiving the payment notification. Once the import fees are paid, your shipment will be presented to customs. If your shipment is a gift , you may be exempt from import charges in certain cases. If you order from a registered online shop (Import One-Stop Shop or IOSS), which pays the VAT in advance, you don’t have to pay any additional taxes, customs duties or administrative fees to the customs clearance service of bpost. You can easily recognise a recognised webshop: if your shopping basket states that VAT is included, you are safe! Most major webshops such as
, AliExpress, eBay and Wish
, are already registered. Ali Express Ebay Wish
, Please note:
, shipments with a value above €150 are always subject to customs duties and administrative processing costs.
My parcel was ordered from a European webshop. Why does it have to pass through customs or do I have to pay extra fees?
FAQResidential
In this case, your parcel comes from outside the EU, even if it was ordered from a European webshop. Some webshops send their products directly from the country of origin. If that country is outside the EU (e.g. the United Kingdom), you might be charged import costs. Always check the sender address of your parcel when ordering items online. If you receive a payment request for import costs, you can still refuse your parcel before making the payment. You can do this via the My bpost app or via Track & Trace. In that case, your parcel will automatically be returned to sender.
What happens to the photo of my proof of identity taken during the delivery of registered mail?
FAQResidential
We take great care to ensure that the photo taken of your proof of identity during the delivery of registered mail is securely saved to our system. Those photos are always taken with bpost secured devices. Your photo will never just be shared or made public. It is taken as a security measure to prove that the registered mail has been delivered to the right person. It remains confidential and is only accessed in very exceptional circumstances, such as a legal dispute about the delivery of the item. In that case, a judge may demand to see the photo of your proof of identity. The photo will only be released under strict legal conditions, in compliance with all applicable data protection laws and regulations. It is kept for 13 months in line with the legal retention period. At the end of this period it is automatically erased.
