What Belgium imports from outside the European Union, line by line, with the label language, its excise duties and what changes on the next 1 January.
Belgium is one of the five EU Member States that import most from outside the Union in 3,065 lines of the 9,579 lines of the Combined Nomenclature with Eurostat data in 2025, and the first in 527. On 1 January 2027 the EU-Mercosur Agreement lowers the duty for Argentina on 1,159 lines of them. Food labels must be in Dutch, French and German, depending on the region.
3,065lines where it is one of the five EU countries that import most from outside
527where it is first of the 27
€145,563 millionimported from outside the Union in those lines in 2025
The duty, the quota and the rule of origin are the same in all 27 Member States. What changes from one country to another is who buys what, the label language, VAT and excise duties.
What Belgium imports from outside the Union
The Combined Nomenclature lines where Belgium is one of the five EU Member States that import most from outside the Union (Eurostat, 2025), by sector of the guides. Each group shows the largest ones; the rest are in the guide or the chapter.
Eurostat counts an import in the country that declares it, which is not always where it is consumed, because the ports of the Netherlands and Belgium receive goods for the whole Union.

Food sold in Belgium carries the mandatory information in Dutch, French and German, depending on the region.
Article 15 of Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 says that «mandatory food information shall appear in a language easily understood by the consumers of the Member States where a food is marketed […] the Member States in which a food is marketed may stipulate that the particulars shall be given in one or more languages from among the official languages of the Union».
The sheet of each line, opened for Belgium, adds the destination block with VAT and the food authority.
On top of the duty and VAT, Belgium charges excise duties on alcohol, tobacco and energy when the goods are released for consumption. The categories are set by EU directives and the amounts by each country. Situation on 1 July 2026, according to TEDB.
