Arriving By Yacht:

Length of Stay:

Foreign yachts remaining more than two months in Belgium must obtain a registration plate, as all Belgian yachts have and pay navigation dues. Further details can be obtained from the Bureau de Perception des Droits de Navigation. The registration plate allows a vessel to stop on navigable waterways or to use their tributaries.

EU regulations apply concerning temporary importation.

See EU VAT page for more information.

Other Items:

• The importation of hunting and sporting firearms is possible, but prior authorisation and licences must be obtained prior to arrival. They must be declared to Customs on arrival.
• Further restricted goods can be found on the Customs & Excise Website.
