FedEx Courier Partner

FedEx Parcel Services and Transit Times

FedEx parcel services from Belgium carry pieces up to 68 kg, ranging from next-day morning delivery to day-definite economy transit. Exact transit depends on the origin and destination postcodes.

International First, Priority Express and Priority form the time-definite courier from Belgium that Go Trans books for shipments with a fixed deadline. Connect Plus and the two economy services suit parcels where cost matters more than speed.

FedEx for Business Documents

FedEx carries contracts, tenders, certificates and other business documents on its time-definite services, with delivery signature options that confirm who received the envelope.

International First and Priority Express suit documents needed before noon, while International Priority delivers by the end of the business day. Legal and commercial paperwork moves this way when businesses send documents in Europe and need a confirmed delivery time with a signed receipt.

FedEx Package Limits

FedEx International Priority accepts packages up to 68 kg each, 274 cm in length and 330 cm in combined length and girth. Multi-piece shipments are accepted, so a consignment of 3 packages at 68 kg each travels under one booking.

The 68 kg ceiling is firm: a 69 kg piece moves to FedEx freight services rather than the parcel network, which changes both the service and the rate.

FedEx Freight Above 68 kg

FedEx freight services carry pieces and pallets above 68 kg, with 4 speed levels:

• International Priority Freight: next business day to most European markets, according to FedEx.
• Regional Economy Freight: 1–3 business days within Europe.
• Deferred Freight: 3–6 business days within Europe.
• International Economy Freight: 4–6 business days.

Priority Freight suits urgent heavy goods: a production-line component, an aircraft part or a machine spare that stops operations until it arrives. Heavy goods without that urgency move on FedEx economy freight services or by road with DSV.

FedEx in Belgium: The Liège Hub

Liège Airport is the secondary FedEx hub in Europe, alongside the primary hub at Paris-Charles de Gaulle. The site joined the FedEx network through the TNT acquisition in 2016.

Liège handles FedEx heavy freight above 68 kg and runs intra-European flights. Shipments collected in Belgium therefore start close to a FedEx air hub.

FedEx and TNT: What Changed for Shippers

TNT services are being merged into FedEx services, and FedEx has discontinued a set of former TNT products. The discontinued services include TNT 12:00 Express, 12:00 Economy Express, Mixed Multi-Piece Shipments, Print As You Go, Cash on Delivery and Direct Express.

FedEx names International First, International Priority Express, International Priority and International Priority Freight as the replacements. Shippers who used TNT 12:00 Express can book International Priority Express, which carries a before-noon commitment.

Former TNT customers moving to these FedEx services also move to FedEx customs handling.

FedEx Customs Support

FedEx International Priority includes customs clearance for shipments that cross a customs border. Electronic Trade Documents let the sender upload the commercial invoice digitally, and International Broker Select allows clearance through a customs broker of choice instead of FedEx.

Shipments between EU member states need no import customs declaration. Shipments to non-EU destinations need a commercial invoice, commodity codes and declared values, and duties and taxes remain separate from the transport rate.
