Description: We specialize in exporting branded bags and jerseys to Belgium, with container loading in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Dongguan, and flexible LCL shipping. Shenzhen/Guangzhou direct flight to Antwerp takes about 28-38 days, and door-to-door takes 35-50 days. One fixed price package: ocean freight+customs clearance+Belgian customs clearance+customs duties+21% value-added tax+delivery. The clothing tariff is about 12%, and starting from July 2026, the exemption of 150 euros will be cancelled, with a fixed tariff of 3 euros per tax item. Customs clearance requires EORI to bind Belgian VAT, prepare invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, and brand authorization letters. The label must be durable in Dutch/French/German, indicating the fiber composition and Made in China. Brand goods can be detained by customs, and wooden packaging must undergo IPPC heat treatment. Double clearance with tax included, delivery to Brussels, Antwerp, and Ghent.

Antwerp Port handles a large number of containers from China every day, but whether branded bags and jerseys can be smoothly picked up here often depends not on how many days they have been at sea, but on whether the documents before departure have been done correctly. Whether EORI is bound to Belgian VAT, whether the labels are in the language of the corresponding region, whether the fabric width and weight are filled in on the commercial invoice, and whether the brand authorization letter can withstand customs inspection - these things seem trivial, with one thing missing being the burning of money on the container pressed on the dock. We specialize in this line, loading containers in Guangzhou, Dongguan, and Shenzhen, and using LCL (Less than Container Load) shipping to clear these checkpoints one by one before shipment.

1、 Shipping prices and delivery time of bags and jerseys from Shenzhen to Belgium's sub brand

1. Shenzhen to Belgium sub brand bags and jerseys shipping time

We are rooted in Guangzhou, Dongguan, and Shenzhen for container loading, and can handle both FCL and LCL shipments. Departing from Yantian in Shenzhen, Nansha in Guangzhou, or Dongguan Port, the direct flight to Antwerp Port or Zebuluhe Port takes about 25-30 days from port to port. The full container load chain takes about 30-45 days (including customs clearance and delivery), and LCL takes about 35-50 days. Belgian customs processes declarations through the PLDA electronic customs clearance system, with a standard clearance time of approximately 1-3 days. During the peak season from June to September, cabin availability may be tight, so booking 3-4 weeks in advance is more relaxed.

2. Shenzhen to Belgium sub brand bags and jerseys sea freight prices

The quoted price includes all costs, including sea freight, domestic trailer customs clearance, Belgian customs clearance, customs duties, 21% value-added tax (TVA), and final delivery. It should be calculated clearly before signing the contract and there will be no additional charges in the future.

3. Shenzhen to Belgium sub brand bags, jerseys, sea freight taxes and 2026 tariff policies

1. In terms of tariffs, the tariff rate for clothing and textiles (HS Chapters 61-62) is 12%, applicable to knitted clothing and woven shirts, calculated based on CIF value (value of goods+freight+insurance). Shoes range from 8% to 17%. The standard VAT rate is 21%, calculated as (CIF price+customs duty) x 21%.

Starting from July 1, 2026, the European Union officially cancelled the tariff exemption for imported packages below 150 euros. During the transition period from July 2026 to July 2028, low value goods will be subject to a fixed tariff of 3 euros per goods item. Goods of different categories in the same package are taxed separately - for example, if there are 3 T-shirts, 1 pair of socks, and 1 toy in one order, which belong to 3 categories, the tariff is 9 euros. After the transition period ends in July 2028, the fixed tariff of 3 euros will be abolished and will be classified and levied according to the actual tax rate. All commercial goods entering from non EU countries, regardless of their value, are subject to customs duties and 21% VAT, and the small tax exemption model has been completely terminated.

3. VAT deferral is a tangible cash flow tool on the Belgian online platform. Importers with Belgian VAT numbers can apply for ET14000 authorization, and do not need to pay the 21% import value-added tax on site during customs clearance. Instead, it will be reported and deducted simultaneously in the quarterly VAT declaration. The prerequisite for applying for ET14000 is to hold a valid EORI number and be bound to a Belgian VAT identification number. When using DDP double clearance tax service, the freight forwarder acts as the importer (IOR) to complete the administrative work of ET14000.

2、 Shenzhen to Belgium sub brand bags, jerseys, sea freight customs clearance documents and processes: four checkpoints, none of which can be relaxed

First level: EORI number and Belgian VAT - hard threshold for customs clearance

Belgian customs require all importers to hold a valid EORI number and bind a Belgian VAT identification number. When declaring, the EORI number must be filled in the importer identification number column of the customs declaration form. When using DDP double clearance tax service, the freight forwarder acts as the importer to complete EORI and VAT related administrative work. EORI information must be confirmed in place before shipment, otherwise the PLDA system cannot accept the declaration.

Second level: Commercial invoice - the core basis for PLDA declaration

Belgian customs require the submission of commercial invoices, which must include: the names and addresses of both parties, invoice number and date, detailed description of the goods (including HS code), quantity, unit price and total price, transaction conditions (such as CIF), and country of origin. For imported textiles, the model, width, and weight of the fabric must be specifically stated in the invoice. This is a special requirement for Belgian textile customs clearance, and any omission will directly trigger inspection. Commercial invoices should avoid vague descriptions and should be specifically labeled as "100% pure cotton women's T-shirt". The certificate of origin (if applicable) must be completely consistent with the commercial invoice information, and Belgian customs has recently increased its efforts to verify origin documents.

Level 3: Dutch/French Labels - Regulations and Regional Language Requirements of 1007/2011

Belgium implements EU Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011, which requires textile labels to be durable, clearly readable, visible and accessible, indicating fiber composition and percentage, and using standard fiber names specified in EU regulations.

The special feature of Belgium is that the label language must be determined by the sales region: for sales in Flanders (Dutch speaking region), the label must be in Dutch; Selling in Walloon (French speaking region) must be done in French; Selling in the Brussels Capital Region requires the use of both Dutch and French. If the product covers the entire territory of Belgium, the safest approach is to use labels in Dutch, French, and German. Non compliant labels will trigger compliance review by the Belgian Ministry of Economy.

Fourth level: Brand authorization - Belgian customs can proactively detain infringing goods

According to the EU Intellectual Property Border Enforcement Regulation, Belgian customs have the right to voluntarily detain goods suspected of infringement, with a detention period of 3 working days. During this period, the rights holder must submit a formal action application, otherwise the goods will be released. Once the formal application is submitted, the customs will detain the goods for 10 working days (renewable once), and the rights holder must initiate legal proceedings or choose a simplified destruction procedure within this period, otherwise the goods will be released. Brand bags and brand jerseys must be accompanied by a brand authorization letter, which must specify the authorizing party, authorized party, product scope, and validity period. After unauthorized goods are seized, there is a risk of destruction, and intellectual property infringement constitutes a customs crime in Belgium and may face criminal penalties.

Fifth level: Customs clearance process at the destination port (our Belgian cooperative customs clearance agency handles the entire process)

1. EORI/VAT confirmation (before shipment): Confirm that the importer EORI is bound to Belgian VAT, and in DDP mode, the freight forwarder acts as the IOR to complete the registration

2. Pre review of documents (during transportation): Submit the complete set of customs clearance documents to the agent for early review, complete the regional language compliance verification of label content, and complete the special information of textile invoices

3. PLDA electronic declaration (before arrival): To submit an import declaration through the PLDA system, an EORI number must be provided

4. Customs valuation and inspection: With complete documentation, customs clearance is usually completed within 1-3 working days; In case of inspection, reserve 3-5 days

5. Tax payment release: Payment of customs duties on behalf of others+21% value-added tax. VAT deferral can be applied for under ET14000 authorization

6. End delivery: Delivery throughout Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, and Liege

Sixth level: List of customs clearance documents

Customs clearance document list: original/electronic bill of lading, commercial invoice (including textile fabric model/width/weight), packing list, brand authorization letter, importer EORI and Belgian VAT number, certificate of origin (if applicable), fumigation certificate for wooden packaging (if applicable).

3、 Shipping bags and jerseys from Shenzhen to Belgium by sea with six red lines, even touching one would be troublesome

1. EORI is not bound to Belgian VAT - customs clearance is directly stuck

Belgian customs require EORI numbers to be bound to the Belgian VAT identification number and filled in the importer identification number column on the customs declaration form during declaration. Without this binding, the PLDA system cannot accept declarations.

2. Label language does not meet regional requirements - key focus of compliance review

Sales in Flanders require Dutch, Walloon requires French, and Brussels requires bilingual Dutch and French. It is recommended to use labels in Dutch, French, and German to cover the entire area. Non compliant labels will trigger compliance review by the Belgian Ministry of Economy.

3. Missing brand authorization letter - Customs actively seized goods

Belgian customs have the right to voluntarily detain suspected infringing goods based on their authority. After 3 working days of detention, the right holder must submit a formal application, otherwise release will be granted; After the formal application, it will be detained for 10 working days, and the rights holder must initiate legal proceedings. The authorization letter for brand bags and jerseys must be complete.

4. Special information missing in textile invoices - common reasons for inspection

Belgian customs require textile invoices to indicate the fabric model, width, and weight. This is a unique textile invoice requirement in Belgium, where missing information directly triggers inspection.

5. New tariff policy in July 2026- cancellation of small exemptions

Starting from July 1, 2026, the tariff exemption for packages below 150 euros will be officially cancelled and replaced with a fixed tariff of 3 euros per product category. Even if the value of a single item is very low, as long as it enters the EU customs territory, tariffs and 21% VAT need to be paid.

6. Wooden packaging without IPPC logo - EU unified standard

Belgium implements the EU ISPM 15 standard. Wooden packaging must undergo heat treatment (HT), with the core temperature of the wood reaching 56 ℃ for at least 30 minutes, and marked with IPPC (including country code BE, processing enterprise number, and processing method code HT). Wooden packaging also needs to be peeled. It is recommended to prioritize using plywood fumigation free pallets or plastic pallets.

4、 Shenzhen to Belgium sub brand bags and jerseys sea freight packaging requirements: three-layer protection, according to brand standards

1. Three layer protection: Brand bags and jerseys are of high value, and after drifting at sea for more than 30 days and being transported inland in Europe, the packaging can withstand it.

|First layer: Inner packaging | football jersey cover with dust-proof bag folded up; Put the brand dust bag in the bag, with paper balls stuffed inside to support the shape of the bag. Don't damage the hang tag washing label|

|The second layer: filling and fixing | the box is filled with enough cushioning materials (foam, bubble film, pearl cotton), and the goods cannot be shaken in the box|

|Third layer: outer box reinforcement | cardboard box, do not use soft packaging. Single box should not exceed 30kg, and single side should not exceed 150cm. The box should be sealed with a "worker" shape and the tape should be ≥ 5cm

2. Wooden packaging: Solid wood must undergo ISPM 15 heat treatment (core temperature of 56 ℃ for at least 30 minutes) and be labeled with IPPC. Belgium implements EU standards, and wood must be peeled. Suggest using plywood fumigation free trays or plastic trays directly to save time and money.

3. Special requirements for Belgian/EU labeling:

-Regional languages: Flemish in Dutch, Walloon in French, Brussels bilingual in Dutch and French, covering the entire region. Three languages are recommended

-The fiber composition must use standard fiber names and be arranged in descending order of weight

-Origin landmark "Made in China"

-Manufacturer/Importer Name and Address

-Outer box label, specific product name written

-Fragile items are labeled with "FRAGILE", and desiccants are placed inside the box to prevent moisture

The export to Belgium by sea is ultimately a prerequisite for compliance. EORI binds VAT, regional language labels, special information for textile invoices, brand authorization checks, and IPPC markings for wooden pallets. These are reviewed item by item before loading, which is much more convenient than remedying them after the goods arrive in Antwerp. We follow the container loading process from Guangzhou, Dongguan, and Shenzhen, including sea freight, customs clearance, tax payment, and delivery. You hand over the goods to the domestic warehouse, and we will cover the rest of the way for you.
