How it works
If you’ve ever sent a parcel abroad or bought something from overseas, you’ll know that customs clearance is a difficult-to-navigate minefield, and costs can quickly add up.
That’s why our professional in-house team of customs handlers is ready to help you with everything you need for a stress-free shipping experience. Our experts have in-depth knowledge of specific customs laws from each country, helping you dot the ‘i’s and cross the ‘t’s on your paperwork and ensuring your shipment arrives safely.
Plus, our Dartford HQ became a fully customs-bonded facility in early 2023, meaning we can safely store your belongings in our own warehouse and keep track of them throughout the entire shipping process. You’re in safe hands with Matthew James.

Ready to make the move?
The capital of NATO and the EU, Brussels has become a popular expat destination due to its high quality of life, its calm climate, and its jobs market. The capital city of Belgium is a fantastic option for whenever needs you might have. Fun fact, the country is the birthplace of the French Fry!
The Chemical, electronics, transport, and medical industries are big employers in the city. Finding these jobs isn’t too different from finding a job in any other city, but here are some good options to help find that next big job online. Often expats making the move to Brussels for career prospects are driven, highly paid, and young. This strong work culture does have some benefits, as 5 – 6 weeks of holiday are entitled on average to each employee. Two languages are spoken fluently in the city, French and Flemish, so an understanding of either is advantageous, but not as crucial as many residents already speak English to a high degree. But do remember, the French side of business tends to be more formal and the Dutch side more informal.

STIB-MIVB runs the city’s transport system. You can find all of the different maps to help you get around the city, but suffice to say that Brussels has a great transport system. One ticket can be used on different types of transport as they are all owned by the same company. With only 6 overlapping lines, the metro system is easy to navigate. But it must be said not many are accessible to those with mobility issues, so make sure you carefully plan your route if you are in need of a stairless entrance or exit. You are in luck if cycling is your preferred mode of transport, and the city is well equipped with many cycle lanes. But beware, Brussels is a not a level city, so you might have to be of moderate fitness to be able to deal with the many hills etc.
Brussels is a city of neighbourhoods, and there are 19 different postcodes to choose from. Popular expat areas include Brussels city. Major renovation works has injected some welcome charm to the area, and as you will be at the heart of the city, everything is on your doorstep (this all comes with an increase is property prices). Ixelles is the most diverse commune in the city with its eclectic entertainment offerings. As Brussels is so international, there are many options when is comes to school for English speaking kids. Either the British International School or Junior Academy are just two great options.
Finding things to do isn’t too difficult. Get inspired by the 15th Century Grand Palace. Brussels has its own Gothic Cathedral, the 14th Century Notre Dame Du Sablon. Multifaceted arts buildings also play a vital role in Brussel’s entertainment industry. The once grand botanical garden turned arts centre, the Admire Le Botanique, is a great place to take the family. You can also bathe in the summer sun and enjoy a picnic at the Parc Du Cinquantenaire.
