Courier Services in Belgium
The United Kingdom is Europe's second-largest economy and the world's fifth-largest. In 2020, commerce with EU member states represented 52% of total imports in the United Kingdom.
Despite Brexit, the UK remains an important export destination for Belgian businesses. As one of the country's top five export partners, the UK accounts for about 9% of total Belgian outbound shipments (approximately 32 billion euros). The car, chemicals, food and beverage, textile, and machinery industries are the major exporters to the United Kingdom.
While Belgium is a small country, it has a massive international economy and is routinely named one of the finest places to live – and not just because some of its most well-known exports are chocolate and beer.
When you contact Packlink Online to organise your postage to Belgium, you can be confident that you're hiring a reputable parcel delivery service.
