What Do You Need to Ship a Boat to Belgium?
Ship DEI ensures that your documentation is complete and that it’s filled out correctly as part of the process of shipping your boat from U.S to Belgium. Belgium is a member of the European Union. As such, rules that apply when importing goods into the EU apply there. Boats flying non EU flags can be imported into Belgium for up to 18 months without paying anything. After this, you will need to pay VAT and duty. All permanent boat imports in Belgium are charged VAT and customs duty. Ship DEI is not responsible for paying any of these charges.
Take note: we ship thousands of boats and vehicles every month from all over the United States to all over the world, including Belgium. As a result, we can provide you with an effortless auto transport experience through all phases.
Shipping a Boat to Belgium: A Look at the Process
Boating is popular in Belgium off the country’s coasts and along its many inland waterways. In fact, the country has more than 1,500 km of waterways that can be navigated by boat. The rivers Leie, Schelde, Sambre & Meuse are part of those waterways.
Enthusiasts sometimes prefer to buy their boats in the United States where the selection is a lot more diverse than in Belgium. If this is what you have done, you will now be looking to ship your boat back home to Belgium from the U.S. Here’s a look at how the process works:
✓ Get a quote from us,
✓ Give us the boat’s dimensions.
✓ We will arrange for the boat to be picked up for delivery at the port.
✓ The boat is loaded unto a ship, depending on the shipping and loading options chosen.
✓ Once it is secured on the ship, your boat will cross the oceans for Belgium.
✓ There, we will ensure that it is safely unloaded.
✓ Your boat will then be delivered to its final destination.
Boat Shipping Options to Belgium
We offer three types of shipping options when getting your boat from the USA to Belgium.
Containerized shipping
If your boat measures less than 28′ by 8.6,’ you have the option of using containerized shipping when transporting it from the U.S. to Belgium. We make sure that your boat is fully secured in the container for safe transport.
RORO Shipping
RORO stands for roll-on, roll-off, and is a good option if your boat is on a trailer or a cradle. Your boat will be towed onto the ship and then towed off the ship once in Belgium. The RORO option is usually restricted to boats 15 feet and below in height.
Lift on, Lift off
Many of the boats that we ship are just too big for RORO and containerized shipping. In that case, your boat can be loaded onto the ship using a crane. The boat is then strapped into position on the deck of the ship. At the destination port, another crane is used to get the boat off the ship.
