It provides flexibility that FCL (Full Container Load) may lack, by accommodating the shipping needs of several clients in one container.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color:#0E465F\">Example:<\/strong><br>\nLet&#8217;s say a Belgian chocolate maker needs to import 10 CBM of premium cocoa from China. Instead of investing in an entire container, they can opt for LCL shipment, sharing the space and costs with other businesses.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color:#0E465F\">Cost Implications:<\/strong><br>\nAlthough LCL freight is often cheaper than FCL on a volume basis, remember the cost per unit is usually higher due to extra handling at both origin and destination. However, with LCL, you only pay for the space you use, making it a potentially cost-efficient choice for low-volume shipments. Overall, it&#8217;s a balance between volume, cost, and flexibility that you should consider when utilizing LCL.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0df4a3a e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0df4a3a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6d57de6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6d57de6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"517\" src=\"https:\/\/china.docshipper.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/Container-Illustration-Service-1.svg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-20233\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-09f1ccd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"09f1ccd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p><h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FCL_Full_Container_Load\"><\/span>FCL: Full Container Load<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>\n<strong style=\"color:#0E465F\">Definition:<\/strong> Full Container Load (FCL) shipping refers to when you reserve an entire container solely for your cargo, typically using a 20&#8217;ft or 40&#8217;ft container. This method, known as FCL shipping, is attractive for its security as your shipment remains sealed from origin to destination.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color:#0E465F\">When to Use:<\/strong> For those shipping more than 13\/14\/15 CBM, FCL is usually the more economical option. This is due to the high-volume capacity of an FCL container, which allows a larger amount of goods to be transported for a lower relative cost.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color:#0E465F\">Example:<\/strong> Consider a furniture manufacturer in China, shipping a large order of 500 chairs to a distributor in Belgium. With each chair taking up around 0.1 CBM, this easily exceeds the 15 CBM threshold, making FCL shipping the cheapest and safest method to use.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color:#0E465F\">Cost Implications:<\/strong> Requesting an FCL shipping quote from your freight forwarder will reveal that, while the upfront cost may be higher than Less than Container Load (LCL), the cost per unit becomes cheaper as your shipping volume increases. As such, FCL proves to be more cost-effective for larger shipments.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-d7449cc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d7449cc\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-e458337\" data-id=\"e458337\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6bf5260 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6bf5260\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Unlock hassle-free shipping<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-664e21f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"664e21f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Ship smarter with DocShipper!

The popular highway route involves the China-Kazakhstan-Russia-Belarus-Poland-Germany-Belgium pathway, often passing significant cities such as Almaty, Moscow, Minsk, Warsaw, Berlin, before reaching Brussels. A critical factor in road freight is variable transit times influenced by weather conditions, traffic controls, and geopolitical scenarios. A potential slowdown can happen around border crossings, particularly between Russia and Belarus. Also, road condition during Winter could pose challenges.

For instance, an excise duty might apply to certain goods like alcohol or tobacco. Additionally,<span style=\"color: #800000\"> <a style=\"color: #800000\" href=\"https:\/\/china.docshipper.com\/en\/logistics\/anti-dumping-duties-when-importing-china-to-eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">anti-dumping taxes<\/a> <\/span>can be levied if your goods are priced below fair market value in China.<\/p><p>But one of the most significant charges to consider is the <strong>Value Added Tax (VAT).<\/strong> For example, suppose you are importing mechanical parts worth $10,000 from China. If the standard tariff rate is 3%, the duties you need to pay would be $300. Now let&#8217;s imagine that the <strong>VAT rate in Belgium is 21%<\/strong>. The VAT you&#8217;d owe would be calculated from the total cost of goods with the tariff, or $10,300. So, the VAT amount is $2,163. Thus, the total cost of your importation, including duties and VAT, becomes $12,463.<\/p><p>Please note this is a simplified example, and <strong>actual rates may vary<\/strong>. Businesses usually need to handle these calculations or hire a professional to do so. It emphasizes the importance of understanding your target market&#8217;s tax infrastructure &#8211; without this knowledge, you might face unexpected expenses that could impact your profit margins.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-06458ee elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"06458ee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Step 6 - Calculate the Customs Duties<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-660629c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"660629c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>At this stage, it&#8217;s essential to understand how Customs Duties are calculated. Essentially, it&#8217;s the customs value multiplied by the applicable trade tariff. Consider our real-world scenarios:<\/p>\n<p>1. For a shipment worth $10,000 on which <strong>no VAT<\/strong> is chargeable<strong> but a Customs Duty at 5% applies<\/strong>. Your owed duty equals $500 ($10,000 x 0.05).<br>\n2. When a shipment, valued at $20,000, has a <strong>Customs Duty at 10% and a VAT at 20%<\/strong>, your total owed is $6,000. Here&#8217;s how: Customs Duty is $2,000 ($20,000 x 0.10) and VAT is $4,000 (($20,000+$2,000) x 0.20).<br>\n3. Lastly, let&#8217;s take a shipment valued at $15,000. If a <strong>10% Customs Duty, 20% VAT, 5% anti-dumping tax, and 3% Excise Duty<\/strong> apply, the total charges would be $4,920.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the break-down: Duty is $1,500 ($15,000 x 0.10), VAT is $3,300 (($15,000+$1,500) x 0.20), anti-dumping tax is $825 (($15,000 + $1,500) x 0.05), and Excise Duty is $495 (($15,000 + $1,500 + $825) x 0.03).<\/p>\n<p>Navigating these costs can be challenging.

They come from inconsistent paperwork. Belgian customs check value, HS code, and product compliance very closely, especially for Chinese origin goods.<\/p><p>You will always need:<\/p><ul><li>Commercial invoice with accurate HS code and realistic declared value<\/li><li>Packing list with exact quantities, weights, and packaging type<\/li><li>Bill of Lading for sea freight or Air Waybill for air freight<\/li><li>Your Belgian EORI number<\/li><\/ul><p>Depending on the product, you may also need CE conformity documents, test reports, wood fumigation certificates, MSDS, or import licenses. Electronics, furniture, textiles, steel products, and anything with batteries are frequently checked.<\/p><p>What we always verify before departure is this: does the invoice description match the HS code and the real product? If not, you risk inspection, reclassification, or higher duties.

Operationally, almost always yes.<\/p><p>Belgium applies EU customs rules, including 21% VAT on most goods and duties that typically range between 0% and 12% depending on HS code. Customs calculate VAT on the CIF value plus duties. If the declaration is wrong, you do not just correct it, you pay the difference and sometimes penalties.<\/p><p>In 2025 and 2026, EU trade defense measures have also increased scrutiny on certain Chinese products like steel items, plywood, screws, and other industrial goods. If your product falls under anti-dumping or safeguard measures, the duty impact can be significant.<\/p><p>We act as your representative in Belgium, submit declarations in PLDA, validate HS codes before shipment, and anticipate red flags before the container even sails.

No. Cheaper overall for your business? Sometimes.<\/p><p>As of 2025 market levels, sea freight for a 20ft container typically ranges around 1,300 to 1,600 USD, while air freight often ranges around 5.5 to 7.5 USD per kg depending on season and airport. So per unit, sea is much cheaper.<\/p><p>But here is what first-time importers often miss. If your shipment is under roughly 1 to 2 CBM or under 300 kg, LCL sea freight plus origin charges, handling fees, and longer storage can narrow the gap. Air freight reduces transit time to about one week door to door, compared to 30 to 40 days by sea.<\/p><p>If stockout costs you sales, air may protect margin better than sea saves freight. We calculate both scenarios before you decide.<\/p>                                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"accordion-card-2 \">\r\n                                        <h3 class=\"accordion-header\">                                        <button class=\"accordion-button\">\r\n                                            Is cargo insurance mandatory when importing into Belgium?                                        <\/button>\r\n                                        <span class=\"plus-icon\">\r\n                                            <svg width=\"40\" height=\"41\" viewBox=\"0 0 40 41\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\r\n                                                <rect y=\"0.285156\" width=\"40\" height=\"40\" rx=\"20\" fill=\"white\" \/>\r\n                                                <path d=\"M20 13.2852V27.2852M13 20.2852H27\" stroke=\"#182230\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" \/>\r\n                                            <\/svg>\r\n                                        <\/span>\r\n                                        <span class=\"minus-icon\">\r\n                                            <svg width=\"40\" height=\"41\" viewBox=\"0 0 40 41\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\r\n                                                <rect y=\"0.285156\" width=\"40\" height=\"40\" rx=\"20\" fill=\"white\" \/>\r\n                                                <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_305_7058)\">\r\n                                                    <path d=\"M13 20.2852H27\" stroke=\"#AD1225\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" \/>\r\n                                                <\/g>\r\n                                                <defs>\r\n                                                    <clipPath id=\"clip0_305_7058\">\r\n                                                        <rect width=\"24\" height=\"24\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(8 8.28516)\" \/>\r\n                                                    <\/clipPath>\r\n                                                <\/defs>\r\n                                            <\/svg>\r\n                                        <\/span>\r\n                                        <\/h3>                                        <div class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" style=\"display:none\">\r\n                                            <div class=\"accordion-body\">\r\n                                                <p>No, Belgium does not legally require cargo insurance.

They come from inconsistent paperwork. Belgian customs check value, HS code, and product compliance very closely, especially for Chinese origin goods.You will always need:Commercial invoice with accurate HS code and realistic declared valuePacking list with exact quantities, weights, and packaging typeBill of Lading for sea freight or Air Waybill for air freightYour Belgian EORI numberDepending on the product, you may also need CE conformity documents, test reports, wood fumigation certificates, MSDS, or import licenses. Electronics, furniture, textiles, steel products, and anything with batteries are frequently checked.What we always verify before departure is this: does the invoice description match the HS code and the real product? If not, you risk inspection, reclassification, or higher duties. Most clearance problems start here, not at the port.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Do I need a customs broker to import into Belgium?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Legally, no. Operationally, almost always yes.Belgium applies EU customs rules, including 21% VAT on most goods and duties that typically range between 0% and 12% depending on HS code. Customs calculate VAT on the CIF value plus duties. If the declaration is wrong, you do not just correct it, you pay the difference and sometimes penalties.In 2025 and 2026, EU trade defense measures have also increased scrutiny on certain Chinese products like steel items, plywood, screws, and other industrial goods. If your product falls under anti-dumping or safeguard measures, the duty impact can be significant.We act as your representative in Belgium, submit declarations in PLDA, validate HS codes before shipment, and anticipate red flags before the container even sails. That is how you avoid surprises after arrival.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can air freight be cheaper than sea freight from China to Belgium?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Cheaper per kilo? No. Cheaper overall for your business? Sometimes.As of 2025 market levels, sea freight for a 20ft container typically ranges around 1,300 to 1,600 USD, while air freight often ranges around 5.5 to 7.5 USD per kg depending on season and airport. So per unit, sea is much cheaper.But here is what first-time importers often miss. If your shipment is under roughly 1 to 2 CBM or under 300 kg, LCL sea freight plus origin charges, handling fees, and longer storage can narrow the gap. Air freight reduces transit time to about one week door to door, compared to 30 to 40 days by sea.If stockout costs you sales, air may protect margin better than sea saves freight. We calculate both scenarios before you decide.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is cargo insurance mandatory when importing into Belgium?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"No, Belgium does not legally require cargo insurance. But carriers' liability is extremely limited. If a container is damaged at sea, compensation is calculated per kilo, not per product value.We have seen containers delayed, wet, or partially damaged during transshipment in major European ports before reaching Belgium. Without insurance, you absorb that loss.Insurance typically represents a small percentage of cargo value. For commercial imports, especially furniture, electronics, or high-value goods, skipping insurance rarely makes financial sense.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the cheapest way to ship to Belgium from China?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The cheapest method depends on volume, not just mode.For full containers, direct sea freight to Antwerp or Zeebrugge is usually the lowest cost per unit. For smaller volumes, LCL sea freight works well if you can tolerate 30 to 40 days transit.Rail freight can be a middle ground in terms of speed and cost for certain cargo profiles, especially electronics or machinery.If you are shipping furniture or bulky goods, FCL sea freight is almost always more economical than LCL once you pass a certain volume threshold. Many importers lose money by booking LCL repeatedly instead of consolidating into one container.We always compare total landed cost, including Belgian VAT at 21% and duties based on HS code, not just freight price.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"EXW, FOB, CIF or DDP for shipping China to Belgium?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"On this route, FOB is usually the safest balance for importers.With EXW, you are responsible from the supplier\\u2019s door. That means export customs in China, local transport, and risk if your supplier is inexperienced.With CIF, many Belgian importers discover hidden destination charges once the cargo arrives. Terminal handling, documentation, and delivery are not included.DDP can work well for smaller shipments or if you are new to importing, because duties and Belgian VAT are handled upfront. But you must ensure the declared value is correct and transparent.We often recommend FOB plus door delivery under our control. It gives you cost clarity without losing operational visibility.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"My goods arrived in Antwerp or Zeebrugge. What happens next?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Arrival does not mean delivery.Once the vessel arrives, the container is unloaded, and we submit the import declaration. Customs calculate duties based on CIF value and VAT, generally 21% for most goods.

The key is pre-clearance preparation before vessel arrival. That is where most delays are prevented.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Does your quotation include all costs, including Belgian import fees?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Our quotations clearly separate three elements: freight, destination charges, and duties and taxes.Belgium applies 21% VAT on most imported goods, calculated on CIF value plus customs duty. Duties typically range from 0% to 12% depending on product category. Some goods, such as certain steel products or items under anti-dumping measures, may face additional tariffs.For small parcels under 150 euros, EU reforms are changing how low-value imports are treated, and additional customs handling or parcel fees may apply depending on the shipping channel.Before shipment, we estimate your landed cost so you know your real margin before the cargo leaves China. No surprises after arrival.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How does out of gauge freight forwarding to the Port of Brussels work?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"If your cargo exceeds standard container dimensions, such as heavy machinery, industrial equipment, or oversized structures, you are dealing with out of gauge cargo.First, we determine whether Antwerp or Zeebrugge is the best entry port. The Port of Brussels is an inland port connected by barge and road, so oversized cargo often enters via a seaport first.For OOG shipments, we may use flat rack containers, open top containers, or breakbulk service depending on dimensions and lifting constraints. We verify crane capacity, port handling limits, and road permit requirements inside Belgium before booking.Belgium has strict rules for abnormal road transport. If your cargo exceeds legal road dimensions or weight, special permits and escort vehicles may be required. This is where planning before departure is critical.We always request technical drawings, weight distribution details, and loading photos before confirming the booking. Oversized freight is not complicated, but it must be engineered correctly from origin to final delivery.\"}}]}<\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Freight Shipping between China and Belgium | Rates \u2013 Transit times \u2013 Duties and Taxes Going through the freight journey from China to Belgium can sometimes feel like deciphering a secret code.
