Why UK shops stopped delivering to Belgium
Before Brexit, UK retailers could ship to Belgium with minimal hassle. That changed in January 2021. UK-to-Belgium shipments are now international exports requiring customs declarations, commercial invoices, and — for some retailers — VAT registration in Belgium. The administrative burden led many UK retailers to restrict or stop EU deliveries entirely.
Belgium has a large expat community and a population of shoppers who prefer UK brands, UK pricing, and products not easily available locally.
UK shops that commonly don't ship to Belgium
These are some of the most commonly searched UK retailers among customers based in Belgium:
- Next — clothing, homeware, children's wear. International delivery is limited for many product lines.
- Currys — UK's largest electronics retailer. Delivery outside the UK is not available.
- Argos — electronics, toys, home goods. UK-only delivery across the full catalogue.
- John Lewis — electronics, home, fashion. Most items are UK delivery only.
- Marks & Spencer — clothing, homeware. International delivery is restricted on most items.
- Amazon UK — many marketplace sellers restrict to UK addresses. See our dedicated Amazon UK not shipping to Belgium page.
PostUK works with any UK retailer that delivers within the UK — not just these shops.
