Shipping to Antwerp
Antwerp, on the Scheldt in Flanders, is Europe's second-largest port and a world centre for the diamond and chemical industries. Ships from Canada call at its deep-water container terminals north of the city.
Practical tips. Choose Antwerp for consignees in Antwerp, Ghent, Mechelen and the rest of Flanders, and for the southern Netherlands. Dutch (Flemish) is the local language, but customs agents and movers work in English too. Household goods are cleared under the EU transfer-of-residence relief with an inventory and proof of registration with your commune.
Antwerp's city centre has a low-emission zone, so older trucks need registration; local movers know the rules.
Antwerp's diamond district and fashion schools bring an international community to the city, and the Port of Antwerp-Bruges handles cargo from all over the world, so local customs agents are very experienced with both personal and commercial shipments.
