Can I recover my import costs?
FAQResidential
If your parcel is lost or damaged after you have paid the import costs, you cannot recover these costs. Always contact the sender. The sender can launch an investigation. You will be compensated up to the amount of the customs formalities if: your shipment was sent with tracking (barcode that does not start with the letter “U”) the sender has opened an investigation the investigation makes it clear that the fault lies with bpost
, Tips:
, If you are buying outside the EU, choose a tracked shipment if possible. Your parcel is more likely to be found if it is lost. Choose registered webshops (Import One-Stop Shop or IOSS) that ask you to pay the VAT in advance. This will reduce costs and risks (import costs are not refunded in case of loss or damage) and shorten the delivery period.
If Track & Trace indicates that bpost has received your shipment, you will receive it within a maximum of 5 working days. If the shipment has not arrived after 10 working days, you can file a complaint with the sender. The sender can decide whether to refund the purchase (partially) or reship your order. As there is no tracking of the shipment, there is no compensation possible from bpost.
, Tip:
, when buying outside the EU, always opt for a tracked shipment and preferably buy from webshops that ask you to pay VAT in advance. This limits your costs and risks (import costs cannot be recovered in case of loss or damage) and speeds up the delivery time.

Can I send money with Ria without an ID card?
FAQResidential
For a money transfer with Ria Money Transfer, you always need a valid identity document to identify yourself as the sender. In Belgium, that is your ID card. Ria also accepts your Belgian ID card in all countries of the European Union, Norway, Switzerland and Iceland. Other documents are not required. If you want to send money from other countries, you need a passport. If your ID card is lost or stolen, you can send money with an official proof of loss issued by the police. Please note: in that case you must already be a Ria customer. If you don't have a Belgian ID card, you can also send money with your passport, residence card or attestation of registration (provisional residence document).
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.

Do I need to pay import costs for a gift?
FAQResidential
In certain cases, a parcel received from outside the EU can be exempt from import costs. We then speak of a gift. Your parcel must meet the following conditions: The sender is a private person (e.g. family member, friend, acquaintance). A parcel from an online shop is never considered a gift (even if it says gift on the package). The contents of the parcel are for personal use. If the parcel contains alcoholic products, tea, coffee, perfume, eau de toilette, tobacco or tobacco products, the excise duty-free quantity is not exceeded. More detailed information can be found in the related Royal Decree . The value of the shipment does not exceed €45. If the total value of your shipment exceeds €45 and consists of several goods, you can get a partial exemption for the goods that (on their own or together) are worth max €45.
