How To Address A Parcel To Belgium
In general, the same addressing rules that apply to the UK are also relevant for addressing a parcel to Belgium, although there a couple of things to keep in mind.
When writing a Belgian address, leave a space between thoroughfare name and street number and do not fill the space with punctuation signs such as points, commas.
Due to Belgium’s official languages of Dutch, French and German – the name of the town/city should be written in the official language of the city if the city is unilingual. If the city is multilingual, the address can be written in any of the official languages.
