With pakajo, shipping to Belgium is easy and successful! Let’s get your shipments safely to their destination together!

Use sturdy boxes or shipping containers that can safely hold the contents. Make sure the boxes are in good condition and have no damage or labels from previous shipments. Fill the space within the box with suitable cushioning material such as bubble wrap, packing chips or padded inserts. The cushioning material protects the goods from impact and reduces the risk of damage during transport. If you are shipping multiple items, pack them individually before placing them in the shipping box. This prevents them from bumping into each other and becoming damaged during transport. Make sure the box is properly sealed to prevent accidental opening during shipping. Use high-quality packaging tape and thoroughly seal all openings and seams in the box.

If you want to send parcels to Belgium, our shipping partners DPD, GLS and the postal companies or, for very urgent shipments, DHL and UPS are the right choice. The good news is that with pakajo you can easily combine the different shipping service providers and shipping methods via your account and therefore send your packages extremely flexibly!

If you choose the postal company as your shipping service, these shipments will be handed over to the state postal company of Belgium, bPost. bPost usually makes a delivery attempt to the receiving address. If delivery is not successful, the shipment can be picked up at a branch. Delivery takes place from Monday to Friday. When shipping with a parcel or courier service provider, the recipients will be informed whether they can collect the packages from a parcel shop or a depot of the respective service provider.

The addressing of postal items in Belgium corresponds to the European standard. PO box addresses (postbus / case postale) can only be delivered by bPost. Otherwise we need a delivery address.

Also include the recipient's cell phone number and email address, as they will be contacted if there are delivery problems.

At Pakajo you can track your packages in various ways. We'll show you how

The pakajo tracking number "UPG-123456" is generated when the shipment is created. If desired, the recipient will receive a processing confirmation at the moment that their shipment is now being prepared for shipping. With the UPG number, the recipient can immediately track their shipment via the pakajo tracking page. Even for shipments without tracking, the recipient receives a processing and shipping confirmation.

As soon as the shipment has arrived at a pakajo shipping center, the shipment is confirmed in the pakajo system and receives a 9-digit "113456789" number.

Now the nine-digit number is married to the UPG number and all the necessary shipping information for the sender and the recipient is added to the shipment. The recipient now knows that his shipment is on the way to him.

When the shipment is processed, the final tracking number of the shipping service is now added to the shipment. The number often begins with LY or 0034, but this depends on the shipping service. As soon as the shipment has been recorded by the shipping service, a blue button from the postal and parcel service appears in the shipment tracking.

You can also track your pakajo shipments at aftership. You can find pakajo as a shipping service in the aftership portal. The aftership app also offers very good shipment tracking, which informs you of every current shipping status. At aftership you can enter your pakajo tracking numbers as follows and track your shipments: UPG-123456 / UPG123456 or 123456. Of course, you can also track your shipments using the final tracking numbers of the respective shipping providers, such as Deutsche Post, DHL, DPD, Post NL, bpost and many others.

NOTE: pakajo sends the recipients a delivery email that the shipment has been delivered or is ready for collection in the parcel shop!

Documents

DOCUMENTS REQUIRED FOR SHIPPING TO BELGIUM

CUSTOMS CONTENT DECLARATION

The free movement of goods within the EU also includes postal items. That's why special formalities when sending letters, parcels and parcels only need to be considered in exceptional cases. In general, consignments of goods can therefore be sent within the EU without any further customs formalities or export declarations. Therefore, no further documents such as customs declarations etc. are necessary.

Although many customs regulations are now regulated uniformly across the EU, national regulations regarding the collection of excise duties apply in the individual member states. The excise tax applies in particular to luxury goods such as tobacco, alcohol or coffee and is payable by the recipient if these goods are received by post. However, the exact amount of taxes and customs fees to be paid depends on the regulations of the member state in which the postal item is received.

CUSTOMS FORM FOR SHIPPING FROM THE EU TO BELGIUM

No further customs forms are required for shipping to Belgium.

HOW MUCH CUSTOMS DUTY DO I HAVE TO PAY WHEN SHIPPING TO THE BELGIUM?

Sending gifts to Belgium is generally duty-free as the goods are sent within the EU.

As an online retailer, you have an important responsibility when shipping to Belgium. It is therefore essential that you check the contents of your package carefully, as some goods are excluded from shipping to Belgium by both shipping service providers and applicable customs regulations.

To give you an initial overview, we have put together some of the goods here that are not authorized for shipment to Belgium or are subject to special regulations or authorizations:

Narcotics: cannot be sent by post.

Dual-use goods, which can be used in both the civil and military sectors, are subject to restrictions when sent, including via the Internet (e.g. email), within the EU.

Cultural assets such as art objects, antiques, etc.: The cultural asset protection regulations must be adhered to.

Explosive substances are subject to the special shipping and transport regulations of dangerous goods law.

Weapons and ammunition: Further details are regulated by the Weapons Act.

Important: The respective laws and customs regulations of the recipient country must be observed, especially when it comes to products and topics from the areas of eroticism, pornography, sexuality and/or religion or criticism of religion.

Responsibility for this lies solely with the sender. In this page only the generally applicable regulations of German customs are presented. Please make sure to follow these restrictions to avoid problems when shipping to Belgium. Careful inspection of the contents and compliance with applicable regulations will help ensure that your package arrives without any problems. If you are unsure whether you can send your goods to Belgium, it is advisable to obtain comprehensive information from the German customs authorities.
