Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to ship from China to Belgium?
Shipping rates from China to Belgium vary by weight, mode, and cargo type. Duty and tax follow the rule: Import VAT 17–27% by member state; duty 0–12% by TARIC code. Send your weight and dimensions and we return a full DDP quote within 24 hours.
What duties and taxes apply when importing into Belgium?
Imports into Belgium are assessed by the national EU customs authority. The applicable regime is: Import VAT 17–27% by member state; duty 0–12% by TARIC code. The duty-free / de-minimis position is EUR 150 (duty-free threshold). Under our DDP service these charges are pre-paid and included in the per-KG price, so there is nothing to settle on arrival.
In what currency are rates to Belgium quoted and paid?
Freight to Belgium is quoted and invoiced in USD; the local currency on the destination side is EUR. Payment is typically due before departure (T/T or PayPal), and because it's DDP you settle the full landed cost once — no destination collect charges.
When is the busy season for shipping to Belgium?
Capacity to Belgium tightens around Sep–Nov, on top of the China-side surcharge windows of Chinese New Year (Jan/Feb) and Golden Week (early Oct). Booking 1–2 weeks earlier during these windows protects both space and rate.
Can I track my shipment from China to Belgium?
Yes. Air shipments to Belgium get an air waybill (AWB) trackable within 24 hours of departure; sea shipments are tracked by bill-of-lading through the carrier portal. We push status at key milestones: departure, arrival at the gateway, clearance by the national EU customs authority, and final delivery.
How is chargeable weight calculated for Belgium shipments?
We compare actual gross weight against volumetric weight (L×W×H ÷ 6000 for air) and charge whichever is greater, rounded up to the next kilogram. For 300 KG this matters most when cargo is light but bulky — consolidating cartons can drop you into a cheaper bracket.
Should I use FCL or LCL sea freight for 300 KG to Belgium?
For 300 KG to Belgium, LCL through Rotterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg is usually right unless cargo exceeds ~5–6 CBM or ships regularly. FCL becomes economical above roughly 15,000–18,000 KG and removes commingling risk during clearance by the national EU customs authority.
What is the transit time for Air Freight from China to Belgium?
Air Freight from China to Belgium runs 5–10 business days, covering supplier pickup, consolidation, transit, clearance by the national EU customs authority, and last-mile delivery. Best suited to: time-sensitive goods, high-value items, small shipments.
