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.
What does a barcode look like and where can I find it?
FAQResidential
There are several bpost barcodes in circulation for parcels. Here are the most common ones. 24 digits starting with 3299 or 3232 (e.g. 329998745632147852365873) 18 digits starting with 3232 (e.g. 323256984521032569) 13 characters starting with two letters (CE, EE, CD, CZ) and ending with two letters (e.g. EE123456789BE) 27 characters starting with JJBEA (e.g. JJBEA2356412012365478896541) The following barcodes are used for registered mail: 30 digits for national registered mail, starting with 010 (e.g. 010541288500452621221234567890) 13 characters for international registered mail, starting with R (e.g. RA123456789FR) You’ll find the barcode in the following places: shipping label receipt mailing receipt notice of absence (see image) confirmation email communication from the sender Afwezigheidsbericht
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.
I didn't receive a QR code. What do I do now?
FAQResidential

For Screenless bbox lockers, first enter the barcode in the My bpost app and then follow the steps in the app to collect your parcel.

If you did not receive an e-mail that your parcel is available, please contact a bbox locker responsible on 02 320 23 90.
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 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.
