Shipping to and from Belgium

Fragt mellem Danmark og Belgien løses primært som international vejfragt via Nordcarrier Continent A/S, der håndterer transporter til og fra Benelux, Centraleuropa, Frankrig og Spanien.

Nordcarrier tilbyder B2B-transport til og fra hele Belgien, herunder Bruxelles, Antwerpen, Gent, Liège, Brugge, Leuven, Namur og Charleroi. Godset kan være alt fra paller og stykgods til større dellæs og fulde læs, afhængigt af volumen, vægt, afhentningssted, leveringskrav og ønsket serviceniveau.

Belgien er en del af EU’s indre marked. Det betyder, at almindelig varetransport mellem Danmark og Belgien ikke kræver toldklarering på samme måde som transport til lande uden for EU.

Documentation, CMR, Incoterms, and Dangerous Goods

Proper documentation is essential for professional freight transport to Belgium, even when the shipment is within the EU. The CMR consignment note documents the road transport, while Incoterms 2020 define liability, risk, and the allocation of costs between the buyer and seller.

Nordcarrier clarify what information is needed to plan and book your shipment correctly. This is particularly important for ADR cargo, temperature-sensitive goods, high-value goods, non-standard dimensions, or cargo that requires special handling during loading and unloading.

For cargo with special requirements, information regarding the UN number, packaging group, weight, package type, and safety data sheets must be available. This makes it possible to allocate the appropriate truck capacity and ensure that the shipment complies with applicable regulations.

For air freight, an Air Waybill (AWB) is issued, and cargo transported by air may be packed in ULDs depending on the route, aircraft type, and the airline’s requirements.
