How does a money transfer with Ria work?
FAQResidential
You can send money with Ria Money Transfer in five easy steps: You complete the ‘Send Money’ form. You give the form to the counter clerk together with your identity document and the money. You sign as correct and get a receipt that states the PIN code of your transaction. You contact your addressee and communicate the PIN code that he or she needs to pick up the money. Your addressee picks up the cash at a Ria agency with the PIN code and his or her identity document.
In principle, bpost does not open letters. There are a number of reasons why we do open letters (read the General Terms and Conditions ): We cannot deliver the letter to the addressee and there is no return address on the envelope. We open the letter to identify the sender. That enables us to return the letter. My letter is damaged. What happened? It's possible that our sorting machines damaged the envelope. That happens occasionally to thick letters or letters with a special size. In that case, the sender should choose a reinforced envelope or a parcel.
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.
