The bottom line

For Belgians, buying Japan-direct through Pacific Card Exchange means newer sets, lower per-box prices, and full transparency on taxes, duties, and shipping.

Why Belgium collectors import from Japan

Demand for sealed Japanese Pokémon keeps climbing across Belgium — from collectors and local card shops in Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, and Bruges to resellers stocking bulk cases. Japanese sets release months ahead of Western print runs and frequently cost less per box, even after import costs.

Buying Japan-direct through Pacific Card Exchange lets Belgians skip the local reseller markup and source the newest releases — Black Bolt, White Flare, and Terastal Festival — straight from verified sellers in Japan, with live JPY pricing on every set.

Shipping to Belgium

Most Japan-to-Belgium orders ship via DHL, with fully tracked, insured delivery typically landing in 3–7 business days. After your payment clears, sellers usually provide a tracking number within 24–48 hours.

Pacific Card Exchange managed orders use flat-rate international shipping regardless of box count, so you know the delivery cost up front. Parcels enter the EU through a customs hub where VAT and a small handling fee are assessed before final delivery in Belgium.

3–7 business days

Many sellers use DHL for EU and UK orders when FedEx is unavailable or more expensive. Transit is slightly longer but often more economical for European destinations.

Customs & import taxes in Belgium

Since July 2021 the EU has charged VAT on all imports into Belgium with no low-value exemption. Expect the standard 21% VAT on the declared value plus a small carrier clearance fee (around €3) collected before delivery.

Trading cards clear EU customs duty-free, so there is no separate tariff — the main cost is 21% VAT plus shipping. Our import calculator models this in EUR so you can compare the landed cost against local Belgium prices before you commit.
