- Belgium’s Customs and Excise Administration will launch a pilot on 1 July 2026 for fully digital exemption requests for goods released from customs/tax warehouses.
- The paper 136F form will be replaced by an electronic process submitted by the supplier; decisions should be made in about 30 minutes, while quotas and eligibility rules stay the same.
- The procedure applies to diplomatic missions, international organizations, and eligible staff in Belgium, mainly for excise goods and other excise products; fuel remains on the existing process.
- To join, institutions must send a signed note to [email protected] with a functional email address.
- The pilot runs until 31 December 2026, with full rollout planned from 1 January 2027; the paper 136F can still be used temporarily but is slower.
