Belgium Vehicle Shipping and Customs Procedures Guide

Professional Process Management in Belgium Vehicle Shipping

Belgium, the heart of the European Union, is an important destination for vehicles coming from Turkey with its strategic ports and advanced logistics infrastructure. As Han Bros Cargo, we offer end-to-end expertise for your passenger vehicles, classic cars, SUVs, or motorcycles you want to move to Belgium (Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, Charleroi, etc.). We both speed up your vehicle's delivery process and provide a cost advantage, especially with our operational power at the Port of Antwerp.

Step-by-Step Belgium Vehicle Shipping

In the process from your vehicle being picked up from your address in Turkey to being delivered to your door in Belgium, we follow these critical steps:

  • Pre-Preparation and Appraisal: Your vehicle's current condition is photographed and required documents for international shipping (License, power of attorney, etc.) are checked.
  • Customs Clearance Processes: We guide you on the 'Form 705' and other local documents required for you to benefit from customs duty exemption in case of moving to Belgium (change of residence).
  • Shipping Models: According to your budget, we use open auto carrier trucks or closed-box special tow trucks for luxury vehicles requiring higher security.
  • Port and Plate Procedures: We manage the E705 document and customs declaration processes required for the local registration procedures of your vehicle reaching Belgium with our local partners.

Antwerp Port: Your Logistics Advantage

Most of our Belgium shipments are performed through Antwerp, which is the second-largest port in Europe. As Han Bros Cargo, thanks to our customs-bonded warehouses in this region, we minimize waiting times when your vehicle reaches the port and quickly move to address delivery. Additionally, we ensure you don't get stuck at any bureaucratic obstacles with our documentation support suitable for Belgium's multilingual (French, Flemish, German) structure.
