- Belgium will replace its paper-based tax and customs exemption process with a digital platform starting 1 July 2026.
- The new system will let diplomatic missions and international organisations get duty-free approval in about 30 minutes through their suppliers.
- Paper form 136F will be phased out and replaced by supplier-led online exemption requests for eligible goods and reliefs.
- The pilot covers excisable products like alcohol, wine, cigarettes, and beverages, but not fuels; only The Diplomatic House is participating for now.
- The pilot runs until 31 December 2026, with full implementation planned for January 2027, while paper forms can still be used during the transition.
