Customs Clearance Belgium ⇆ UK

When moving goods for removals or personal effects or dealing with import/export between Belgium and the UK, there are specific considerations to keep in mind:

• Personal Effects: Declare personal goods through a simplified process, ensuring compliance with both UK and EU regulations.
• Removals: We understand that the items you’re moving are not just ‘goods’ but are pieces of your life story. That’s why we handle the clearance of personal effects with the utmost care and confidentiality.
• Import/Export: Our team ensures an effective transition of goods across borders, complying with all trade agreements.

When engaging in international trade or travel, it’s essential to understand there are prohibited items. Europe Express prioritises ensuring that our customers are well-informed about these regulations to prevent any inconvenience during customs clearance. Below is a detailed list of items that are strictly prohibited:

• Falsified and Pirated Goods: Belgium strictly prohibits all falsified and pirated items. This includes any goods infringing on intellectual property rights, such as fake brand-name products.
• Weapons and Ammunition: Unauthorised firearms, switchblades, air guns, and other weapons are prohibited. A specific permit is required for any allowable arms and ammunition.
• Environmental Hazards: Items threatening the environment, such as ivory, coral, and certain plant products, will likely be confiscated at the border.
• Animal and Plant Products: Certain vegetables, plants, and animal products without proper documentation or health inspections are prohibited. This includes meat, fish, or dairy products from outside the EU.
• Endangered Species: Any products derived from endangered animals or plants protected under CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) may require special permits to ensure their trade does not harm their survival.
