Shipping to or from Belgium

[M L]

So I will be going to Europe, more particularly to Belgium and some of the surrounding areas and I got a brain wave.

 

I would like to benefit from the 2 x 35kg baggage allowance I have with Emirates and perhaps have some more funds for travelling.

 

So, if you are looking to import some stuff, can be bike related or whatever, then I am willing to go pick it up at a shop or have it sent to an address in Belgium where I will be staying, for a fee..and I will then bring it back to South Africa (Cape Town) on the 1st of August. *

 

Attached are some ideas.

 

Remember that you can also perhaps get a tax return on some items (21%) *

Quite something to offer to smuggle for people on a public forum. Bet you also moan about crime in SA - [emoji23]

Is bringing back goods for someone illegal? If so, my apologies, admins feel free to lock the topic in that case.

If you declare everything you bring back and pay the import duty's and VAT it is legal, But if you don't declare it is smuggling.

Yes of course, but I was under the impression that you only have to declare it, if you didn't pay Belgium VAT on it? You can't get off the Belgium VAT, and then not pay SA VAT.

You still need to declare all items as there might be duty's payable.
