My parcel is from outside the EU. What process does it have to go through before I can receive it?
FAQResidential
When a parcel from outside the European Union arrives in Belgium, it is handed over to the bpost customs clearance service, which prepares it for customs clearance. The process is as follows:
, 1. Clearance of the parcel
, If VAT on your parcel has been paid in advance via the webshop, it will be immediately handed over to customs. If not, it will be cleared through customs first. This includes the calculation of customs duties, VAT and any other fees (like anti-dumping duties and environmental duties). As of July 1, 2021, this applies to all shipments, regardless of their value. More information about the customs rules. As the recipient, you must pay these import costs in advance via the My bpost app or via Track & Trace. You will receive an email, text message or letter with a payment invitation.
, 2. Security check
, Customs performs a security check on all goods arriving in Belgium from outside the European Union. Customs checks whether the goods can be imported to Belgium. If not (e.g. counterfeit goods, weapons or medicine), customs blocks your parcel. If so, your parcel is cleared and will be released.
, 3. Delivery of the parcel
, As soon as customs clears the goods, bpost takes care of delivery. Bear in mind that the whole process can take several days. You can track the status of your parcel via Track & Trace. You will be notified if any further formalities need to be completed.
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.
We will only leave a failed delivery notice if we cannot reach you digitally. That helps us cut our paper consumption. For the latest information about the status and whereabouts of your parcel, see our emails, the My bpost app or Track & Trace .
, Picking up a parcel
, You can collect your parcel by showing the barcode number of your parcel in the e-mail or in the My bpost app. As soon as your parcel is at a Pick-up point, the status of your shipment is updated on Track & Trace and you will receive an e-mail. So always check the status of your parcel online before you go to the Pick-up point.
I disagree with the import costs. What can I do?
FAQResidential
Paying import costs is a legal obligation when you order something from outside the EU. In addition to paying, you have the following options:
, I agree to pay but disagree with the amount
, The calculated import costs are based on the estimated value of the contents (based on the invoice), the official VAT rates and the customs duties applicable on the goods being shipped. If you can prove that the value was not estimated correctly, you can request a recalculation. In some cases, shipments are exempt from VAT and customs duties. You can request a recalculation in the following cases: shipments sent as a gift a diplomat receives a shipment a shipment is reimported Enter the barcode of your shipment into Track & Trace or the My bpost app. You will find the dispute form above the payment button. Once we receive your request, the payment deadline will be cancelled. Your request will be reviewed and either accepted or declined. You will be able to see the result in Track & Trace and in the My bpost app, and you will receive a new payment request with a payment deadline. If the shipment can be imported free of charge, you will be notified. The shipment is then presented to Belgian customs for clearance.
, I refuse to pay the import costs
, If you refuse to pay the import costs, we will not be able to deliver your shipment and it will be returned to sender. You can contact the sender to see if the purchase value can be fully or partially refunded to you. You can refuse to pay online. To do so, enter the barcode of your shipment via Track & Trace or the My bpost app. You will find the 'refuse' button next to the payment button.
