Parcel must pass through customs
Residential
Are you expecting a parcel from outside the EU? Then it must pass through customs first and you may have to pay extra fees. Discover how this process works.
You’ll get an email or a notification in the My bpost app stating the delivery date and location when your parcel is on its way. You’ll then be able to have your parcel redirected to family or friends who live near you. Your parcel will be delivered straight to that address rather than trying your home address first. You are not home and you didn't set your delivery preferences The postman may deliver your parcel to a safe place or a neighbour. If that doesn't work, your parcel goes to a Pick-up point in your neighbourhood. You prefer to have your parcel delivered to the same place every time When setting your delivery preferences you can only list neighbours who live close by (within a 50 metres' radius). Your parcel will be delivered to that address if you are not home.
In principle, parcels that you receive from a sender within the European Union do not have to go through customs. However, Belgian customs can screen these shipments exceptionally. Some regions of the EU are subject to customs duties and VAT. This is because they are not part of the customs territory of the EU, even though they are part of the geographical territory of the EU (e.g., the Canary Islands). Always check the country of origin of your parcel. Something you order from a European webshop can also come from outside the European Union. In that case, you will have to pay any customs charges in advance via the My bpost app or via Track & Trace. You can always refuse these extra costs. Your parcel will then be returned to the sender.

Why do I have to pay 'fees for customs formalities'?
FAQResidential
Fees for customs formalities are administrative charges that are charged by the bpost customs clearance service for: determining the contents and value of the parcel contacting the addressee in case the contents, value and details of the parcel do not correspond or are incomplete; creating the required customs declaration; storage and warehousing of the shipment during the collection of customs duties. These charges apply to all shipments from outside the European Union (+ United Kingdom). You can, however, avoid additional taxes, customs duties and administrative costs by ordering from a registered online shop (Import One-Stop Shop or IOSS). 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 NB: shipments with a value above €150 are always subject to customs duties and administrative processing costs.

If the status of your parcel does not change for several workdays, something probably went wrong. Please be aware that unforeseen circumstances may cause the delivery of your parcel to be delayed. Please contact the sender in the following cases: If the status of your parcel sent within Belgium has not changed for several consecutive workdays. If the status of your parcel to or from a neighbouring country has not changed for at least 5 workdays. If your parcel to or from another country has not changed for at least 10 workdays.
, Why do I have to contact the sender?
, Only the sender of your parcel can submit a complaint about a parcel that is not delivered. The sender will look for a solution together with bpost. If you are the sender, please contact our customer service via our online form . This way you can immediately provide all the necessary information and documents to process your file.
When importing goods from outside the EU, you pay import costs (VAT, import duties and administrative costs) on all shipments. If your parcel is subsequently retained by customs due to import restrictions, you will not be able to recover the import costs. If there are problems with the delivery (loss, damage or address not found) after clearance, you cannot recover these costs. If your shipment is lost or damaged during the import procedure, please contact the sender. The sender can launch an investigation. If bpost is at fault, you will be compensated up to the amount of the customs formalities in case of a tracked shipment.
, Tips
, : if you buy something outside the EU, choose: a tracked shipment: that way you can follow your shipment online a registered online shop (Import One-Stop Shop or IOSS). They will ask you to pay the VAT in advance. This limits the costs and risks (import costs are not refunded in case of loss or damage) and shortens the delivery period.
