Shipping to Belgium—the literal "heart of Europe"—has never been more strategic for Canadian businesses and individuals. As we navigate the logistics landscape of 2026, the partnership between Canada and Belgium continues to thrive, anchored by the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA).

For small personal parcels, Canada Post surface options are often the lowest cost. Courier is best for larger commercial packages that require faster transit and better tracking. Ocean freight is best for large bulk orders over 200 kilograms.
Most shipments are subject to a 21 percent VAT. While qualifying Canada-origin goods can be duty-free under CETA, standard consignments under 150 Euros are now subject to specific category duties. Read on for the new 2026 rules.
Note: This is an estimate only. Final rates vary by fuel surcharge, dimensions, delivery address, and your discount.
| Chargeable Weight (kg) | Sample Price (CAD) |
|---|---|

| 15.0 | $306 |
Estimate your dimensional weight and a sample price. Formula: Length × Width × Height (cm) ÷ 5000 = kg.
Significant changes are now in effect for Business-to-Consumer shipments. A €3 duty for B2C parcels less than €150 applies to each distinct item category (based on tariff sub-headings) contained within the consignment.
Imagine a parcel with a total value of €98 containing one polyester blend blouse plus two wool blouses.
Important Note: An additional €2 handling fee will apply effective November 2026.
Qualifying Canada-origin goods can benefit from zero percent duty when properly declared under the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement. A separate certificate is not required. A compliant origin declaration written directly on the commercial invoice is sufficient for most cases.
For small numbers of boxes, consider airline excess baggage as it is often simpler. For larger moves, contact a professional mover. Ensure you have detailed packing lists and proof of residency changes to review any duty or VAT relief eligibility with Belgian customs.
