Shipping to Belgian customers,
with the paperwork behind it.
Selling from your own webshop does not remove Belgian packaging duties. Distance selling to private individuals is addressed expressly in the framework, including the requirement to appoint a representative established in Belgium.

Timing depends on document completeness and independent registry and scheme review
eprbelgium.com is an independent private service
We provide independent private coordination. We do not claim appointment, affiliation or endorsement, and third parties retain their own criteria and decisions.
Own-shop sales are not a quiet corner
The webshop is assumed to be out of scope
The framework addresses distance selling to Belgian private individuals directly, and attaches a representative requirement to it.
Only the product box is counted
The parcel, filler, tape and any inner packaging are all packaging, and the parcel to a consumer is household packaging.
Volumes cross a threshold unnoticed
The obligation to join a scheme starts at a defined annual weight. Growth during a year can cross it without anyone noticing.
Included in the written scope.
- Entity, establishment and shipping-route review
- Full packaging inventory by component and material category
- Comparison of the weight-based and parcel-based declaration methods
- Representative appointment prepared and notified
- Membership coordination and the first declaration year fixed
- Marking inventory ahead of the February 2027 change
Four controlled steps.
Map the facts
Record the entity, countries, channels, contracts and products relevant to direct-to-consumer sales.
Separate the streams
Packaging, WEEE and batteries are assessed independently, with assumptions marked for confirmation.
Confirm the written scope
Private fees, exclusions, external costs and client approvals are set out before any work begins.
Maintain authentic evidence
Official documents, filings, invoices and changes remain linked to the entity and stream that produced them.
Frequently asked
We only ship a few hundred parcels a year. Does this apply?
Possibly not for scheme membership, which starts at a defined annual packaging weight. The information obligation and the representative question are assessed separately.
Is the parcel itself packaging?
Yes, and for a distance sale to a private individual it is treated as household packaging rather than industrial transport packaging.
Do we need a Belgian company?
No. You need a representative established in Belgium, appointed by written mandate. That is not the same as incorporating.
