I can't track my shipment with the barcode, why is that?
FAQResidential
This is the case when your barcode starts with the letter “U”. Barcodes starting with “U” are only created to allow shipments through customs. For this shipment, the decision was made to deliver without Track & Trace. This can be the choice of the sender or the recipient when purchasing from the online shop. Shipments with this barcode are processed like letters and will arrive within a maximum of 5 workdays after customs clearance.
What stamps do I need to frank registered mail?
FAQResidential
How you frank your registered mail depends on how you prepare it. You can do this at a Post Office or Post Point or in the My bpost app.
, At a Post Office or Post Point
, If you prepare your registered mail item at a Post Office or Post Point, a prior stamp and a registered mail stamp will be affixed to your mail item. You can use the price calculator to work out how much you’ll have to pay.
, In the My bpost app
, You can also frank your registered mail item using the My bpost app. In that case, you will receive a digital shipping label, which you should print and affix to your mail item. This label is used instead of a prior stamp and a registered mail stamp. Then all you need to do is drop off your item in a Red Letterbox, at a Post Office or at a Post Point.

How do I receive registered mail?
FAQResidential
Registered mail will only be handed over to you upon presentation of your ID card, and you will have to sign for it. This is required by law, as the document in the mail has legal value. We therefore have to check that you are the rightful addressee. Delivery preferences for registered mail You can set your preferences for how your registered mail item is delivered in the My bpost app. These are the options: Delivered to your letterbox: we won’t ring your bell, we’ll simply put the mail straight through your letterbox. Proxy: in the app you authorise someone else to take receipt of your registered mail. More details about proxies . Postpone delivery to your home by one working day. Immediate delivery at a Post Office or Post Point. The last two options are only available for registered mail for which you have received advanced notification. In that case, you’ll get an email or an app notification stating the delivery date and location.
How can I avoid paying import costs?
FAQResidential
Since 1 July 2021, new customs rules apply and VAT must be paid on all shipments from outside the EU. If no VAT is stated at the point of purchase, additional import charges will be applied. To avoid additional import charges and increased VAT (as you pay VAT on customs clearance fees), we recommend that you order:
, from a registered webshop outside the EU.
, These shops settle the VAT on your purchase in advance so you don’t pay import charges and your shipment is processed more quickly. More info on how to recognise an IOSS registered webshop .
, from a webshop that ships from within Belgium or the European Union.
, Remember the United Kingdom is no longer part of the European Union.
, Please note:
, For goods with a value above €150, you will always have to pay customs clearance fees. In this case, the import charges cannot be paid via the webshop.
