Are you sending a gift? Write “personal gift" on the air waybill.
If you indicate to customs that your package is not commercial in nature by stating “personal gift” after the description, you sometimes avoid taxes and import duties. For example, gifts up to a value of €45 that enter Belgium are not subject to taxes and import duties or VAT. Gifts with a value above €45 are not subject to taxes and duties, but may be eligible for VAT. Our customer service will gladly assist you.
Important – only small amounts of excise goods (such as perfume or eau de toilette) will be accepted as a personal gift under or equal to €45.
