How do I know who the sender of my registered mail is?
FAQResidential
If you are not home, a failed delivery notice will be left in your letterbox. It contains all the information about your registered mail that we have received from the sender. You can also find this information via Track & Trace. For registered mail, we generally do not receive digital information from the sender. If there is no sender on Track & Trace or on your failed delivery notice, customer care cannot give you any extra information either.

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.
In most cases an online shop or sender will let you know which barcode you can use to follow your shipment online. In some cases, items are shipped without tracking. Examples include small items that fit in an envelope (a small cable, accessories, etc.) If this shipment comes from outside the EU, it will go through the import procedure upon arrival in Belgium. This shipment without tracing receives a barcode that starts with the letter 'U'. This allows you to pay the import costs via the My bpost app or Track & Trace. Once the import procedure has been completed, the status of this barcode (which starts with 'U') will no longer change. It will become a shipment without tracking once again, until it is delivered to you. Please remain alert for suspicious messages. Are you expecting a shipment? Could the text message or email you received be phishing? To be sure, check the barcode in the My bpost app or via Track & Trace. You can also find photos of your shipment there. If a payment is requested there as well, you can be sure that the shipment is destined for you.
What happens to my parcel after the postman takes it?
FAQResidential

The delivery address on my parcel is wrong. Now what?
FAQResidential
The address listed in Track & Trace or the My bpost app is based on the address provided by the sender to bpost.
, The address is not my current address
, Unfortunately, we cannot change it. The shipment will be delivered to the address indicated. Check whether your profile details are up to date in the online shop where you placed an order.
, The address is wrong or incomplete
, If you notice that the delivery address is wrong or incomplete, you can still modify it in the My bpost app or in Track & Trace. Provided that: Your parcel has not yet arrived at our sorting centre. Both the correct and incorrect address share the same postal code. The delivery address is not a Pick-up point. Your parcel is sent from Belgium.
, Tip:
, always check that your address details are up to date when ordering from an online store.
, I cannot change the delivery address (anymore)
, Don't worry, when your shipment is en route for delivery, our postmen are asked to compare the address with the one printed on the shipping label. If we cannot find the address or match it, we will return your shipment to the sender. You will be notified of this in Track & Trace and the My bpost app. In this case, contact the sender to determine what steps should be taken.
, My shipment comes from outside the EU
, If you see a wrong address during the import procedure and receive an invitation to pay the import costs, it is best to refuse the shipment. This is because we cannot guarantee that the shipment will be delivered correctly and you cannot get a refund for the import costs.

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.
