ANTWERP & LIEGE — EUROPE'S PREMIER FREIGHT GATEWAYS

The Port of Antwerp is Europe's second largest container port, handling over 12 million TEUs annually and offering direct weekly services to virtually every major port worldwide — including Istanbul, Mersin, Jebel Ali and Jeddah. Liege Airport (LGG) is one of Europe's top five cargo airports, operating 24/7 with no night curfew — a critical advantage for time-sensitive and express freight.

Together, Antwerp and Liege give Belgian exporters unmatched access to global freight networks. Combined with Belgium's central position in European road freight, this makes Belgium one of the most connected origins for international shipments.

Common Questions

FREIGHT FROM
BELGIUM — FAQ.

How long does road freight from Belgium to Turkey take?

TIR trucks from Belgium to Istanbul take 3–5 days. The standard routing goes through Germany or France, then via Austria and the Balkans (Hungary–Romania–Bulgaria–Turkey) or via Serbia and Bulgaria. Transit to Ankara is 4–6 days. Both FTL and LTL groupage options are available on the Belgium–Turkey corridor.

Why use Antwerp for sea freight to Turkey and the Middle East?

Antwerp is Europe's second largest container port and offers direct weekly services to Istanbul, Mersin, Jebel Ali and Jeddah — with more departure frequencies than most European ports. For Turkish destinations, transit is 8–12 days. For UAE and Saudi Arabia, 16–23 days. LCL (groupage) consolidation is available for smaller consignments.

What makes Liege Airport different for air cargo?

Liege Airport (LGG) operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — with no night curfew, unlike most major European airports. This makes it ideal for express and time-sensitive cargo. It is one of Europe's top five cargo airports by volume, served by major integrators and charter operators. We use LGG regularly for Belgium-origin air freight requiring fast departure windows.

Does the EU-Turkey Customs Union apply to Belgian exports?

Yes. Industrial goods from Belgium exported to Turkey under the EU-Turkey Customs Union enter Turkey without customs duties, applicable to machinery, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, automotive parts and electronics, subject to rules of origin. We prepare EUR.1 certificates and origin documentation for all eligible shipments.

Can you handle pharmaceutical and temperature-sensitive cargo?

Yes. Belgium is one of Europe's leading pharmaceutical exporters and we have extensive experience with GDP-compliant (Good Distribution Practice) cold chain logistics. We handle vaccines, biologics, clinical trial materials and standard pharmaceuticals — with temperature monitoring throughout transit.

What documents are required to export from Belgium?

Standard EU export documentation: commercial invoice, packing list, export customs declaration (EX-A), EUR.1 or origin declaration, and bill of lading (sea), airway bill (air) or CMR (road). Pharmaceutical and chemical exports may require additional permits and certificates. We coordinate all documentation.

Do you ship from Ghent, Liege city or other Belgian locations?

Yes. We arrange collection from anywhere in Belgium — Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, Liege, Bruges, Charleroi and beyond. For sea freight we route via the most efficient port (Antwerp or Zeebrugge). For air we use BRU or LGG depending on cargo type and timing requirements.
