Shipping Options When Moving to Belgium from the US
The one you choose will depend on your timeline, budget, and needs. That’s why we like to give you some options, which include:
Shared Container
Shared container: Your stuff will share a container with other customers, but you will only pay for the actual volume you’re shipping. Choose this if you don’t have enough cargo to fill a container. This way, you don’t have to pay more than you should just because you can’t fill the whole thing.
Sole Container
Sole container: Your belongings, and your belongings only, will be placed in a 20- or 40-foot shipping container. These come with flat rates, which will cost you more than the shared container option. This option ensures faster transport because there’s no waiting for the container to be filled by other customers who are also moving to Belgium.
Air Freight
Air freight: For smaller shipments, more expensive prices, and faster transport, choose premium air freight.
How Long Does it Take to Ship Goods to Belgium?
Transit times to Belgium will depend largely on the location of the departure port. On top of the actual sailing time, you also have to factor in additional time needed for packing, delivery to the port, and port clearance processes.
In general, it’s faster to get to Belgium from the East Coast of the United States. It will take between 11 and 21 days for the ship to get to its destination. Meanwhile, from the West Coast, the ship should arrive in Belgium in three to four weeks. Other things that influence time are the chosen shipping option, the weight or amount of your cargo, and more.

What You Need When Moving to Belgium From the USA
We will help you with all these steps and all other required documentation. When relocating to Belgium from the USA, you will need to provide:
✓ A copy of your passport
✓ A signed packing list
✓ Copy of town hall registration
✓ Copy of a letter of employment
Other documents that prove that you have not lived in Belgium for the past 12 months.
How Much Does it Cost to Ship a Car to Belgium?
This depends on many things, such as the volume of goods that you plan on shipping, whether or not we will be doing the packing on your behalf, the distance to the departure port from your home, and the distance between the departure port and the destination port.
On top of that, you may have to pay duty in Belgium, depending on the circumstances. Should that arise, this is your sole responsibility as the owner of the goods being shipped.
Other factors that influence price include whether or not you can fill up an entire container. If yes, the cost will be increased because you’re not sharing the space with anyone else. We highly encourage you to get a custom quote from us before creating your budget. This will give you the most accurate price with the most accurate transit times.
