It is therefore possible that your parcel will be delivered: to a Pick-up point or Parcel Locker on Saturday between 8:00 and 17:00 or to your home on Sunday between 9:00 and 19:00 You can follow the status of your parcel via the My bpost app or Track & Trace .

If your shipment has the status "On the way to Belgium", it has not arrived in Belgium yet. The delivery periods of a foreign shipment to Belgium vary from country to country.

, here is no default import procedure. If it wants to, customs can check shipments from inside the European Union.
, My parcel comes from outside the European Union (+United Kingdom)
, 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). The sooner you do this, the sooner your shipment will be released. 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. This period depends on any additional inspections by government agencies (e.g. for plants or food). If your shipment is not cleared, you will be notified (e.g. a permit is missing or the contents of your shipment are subject to import restrictions). The import procedure is completed once customs has released your shipment. Your shipment is then handed over to bpost, and you will receive it a few days later.

Upon arrival in Belgium, the value of the contents of your shipment must be known. This value is determined based on the invoice. Without this information, the required VAT and customs duties cannot be calculated and the shipment cannot be delivered. You will be asked to provide an invoice via Track & Trace. If your shipment is a gift and the value cannot be determined, you must be able to prove that it is a shipment between two private individuals (without the intervention of a sales platform like eBay). An estimate of the value of the goods is also required. Proof by email or a signed document is sufficient. If you do not provide the requested information within the requested period, the shipment cannot be delivered and it will be returned to the sender.

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.
