Belgium imports significant quantities of Portuguese olive oil, both for retail and food-service use. The Lisbon–Brussels EU road corridor keeps this simple — no customs, just correct liquid packing.
DPD and GLS road services cover the Lisbon–Brussels corridor cost-effectively. For larger commercial volumes, pallet freight services are more economical than multiple parcel shipments.
Pack glass or tin containers upright in a rigid box with dividers between bottles, using absorbent packing material in case of leakage. For commercial-volume shipments, consider palletising with shrink wrap rather than individual parcels.
Free movement within the EU — no customs duty or import declaration required. Standard Belgian VAT applies to the transaction, not the shipment itself.
No — as an EU-to-EU shipment, olive oil moves freely with no restrictions beyond standard liquid packing practice. There's no customs declaration or import duty to worry about.
For commercial-volume orders, palletising with shrink wrap is typically more cost-effective than shipping multiple individual parcels, and reduces the handling risk that comes with more touchpoints.
Typically 3–5 business days via EU road courier services like DPD or GLS. Express air options can be faster but add cost that's rarely justified for a non-perishable product like olive oil.
