The Art of Bringing Belgian Flavors Abroad
At Belices.be, our mission is clear: to help Belgian expatriates and lovers of Belgium rediscover the authentic flavors of the flat country, wherever they are in the world. This mission is not something we could accomplish alone. It relies on a network of passionate and committed partners who, every day, help bring the taste of Belgium beyond its borders.
But who are these key players who allow your taste buds to reconnect with a piece of Belgium, even thousands of kilometers away from Brussels, Liège, or Antwerp? Let’s take a behind-the-scenes look at our network and discover those who make this culinary adventure possible.
The Producers: Guardians of Belgian Authenticity
The quality of the products we offer depends first and foremost on those who craft them with passion and expertise. Our producer partners are the first links in the chain that connects you to Belgium.
From Artisans to Established Brands
Our catalog includes products from small artisans as well as more well-known brands, but always with a common denominator: authenticity and quality. Among them is Bister’s Impériale Mustarda true Belgian institution since 1926, whose ancestral recipe continues to delight even the most discerning palates.
We are also proud to offer the delicious products of Clarembeau, a 100% Belgian brand known for its high-quality artisanal preparations. Not to mention the specialties from Chimay Abbey, which provides us with their famous escavèches — marinated fish dishes made according to a traditional Walloon recipe that is a source of pride in our culinary heritage.
Bicky sauce, another emblem of Belgian culinary culture, also has its place in our selection. Whether it’s Bicky Hot or Bicky Dressingthese condiments — inseparable from the famous “Bicky Burger” — allow expatriates to recreate this uniquely Belgian treat at home.
Our Rigorous Selection Process
Every product featured on Belices.be has undergone meticulous selection. We prioritize:
- Authenticity: products that truly represent Belgian gastronomic culture
- Quality: carefully chosen ingredients and respectful production methods
- Popularity: items regularly consumed by Belgians and missed by expatriates
- Transportability: products that travel well and retain their taste quality
This process allows us to guarantee our customers a culinary experience that remains true to their memories — even on the other side of the world.
Logistics Partners: The Art of Culinary Transport
Selecting the best products is only part of the journey. They must also arrive at your doorstep in perfect condition — whether you're in Berlin, New York, Sydney, or elsewhere. That’s where our logistics expertise comes in, built on strong partnerships with international transport professionals.
The Challenge of Food Transportation
Shipping food products across the globe is a major challenge, especially for iconic Belgian items like chocolate, which is sensitive to temperature changes. At Belices.be, we constantly seek the most affordable and fastest carriers to ensure maximum product quality upon arrival.
It’s a daily challenge we tackle with determination. In some cases, when feasible, we even handle deliveries ourselves to ensure optimal care. This direct approach allows us to control the entire process and offer personalized service to our closest customers.
Our logistics network is designed to adapt to the specific needs of each destination:
- Reinforced packaging for long-distance shipments
- Insulated solutions for heat-sensitive products
- Optimized delivery timelines based on shelf life
- Real-time parcel tracking for complete transparency
Our Partner Carriers
We collaborate with several internationally recognized carriers known for their reliability and expertise in transporting food products. These partnerships allow us to offer various delivery options tailored to each customer’s needs and budget.
Coordination between our teams and these carriers is a constant priority. Specific procedures have been implemented to ensure shipment traceability and to respond effectively to any unforeseen issues that may arise during international transport.
Customs and Regulatory Challenges
Exporting food products means navigating a sea of complex and ever-changing international regulations. At Belices.be, we do our best to stay informed about the laws in the countries we deliver to.
Our Approach to Customs Formalities
Good news for our customers: Belices.be handles all customs declarations for you, listing each item in your parcel with its value. This spares you administrative hassle and reduces the risk of customs delays.
Please note, however, that depending on the destination country's regulations, additional customs fees may be charged to the recipient upon delivery. These fees vary based on the declared value of the goods and local laws.
Visit our Delivery page for more information on country-specific restrictions. International Delivery Services: Belices.be ships to nearly every corner of the globe, taking into account the specific customs regulations of each destination — allowing lovers of authentic Belgian products to enjoy them wherever they live. Even better: delivery is free above a certain order amount, making the shopping experience even more rewarding. We remain available and attentive to our customers to help facilitate customs procedures and provide guidance, although the final responsibility for the order lies with the customer.
Listening and Adapting to Your Needs
The legal framework for international food trade is constantly evolving. That’s why we maintain active regulatory monitoring to quickly adapt our processes to new requirements.
Of course, we remain attentive to our customers to find the most suitable solutions for their specific needs. Since each destination has its own particularities, we favor a personalized and collaborative approach to overcome any customs challenges that may arise.
Innovative Partnerships to Enrich Our Offer
Beyond traditional Belgian products, we are constantly seeking to enrich our catalog with discoveries that deserve to be known beyond the borders of the flat country.
Unexpected Collaborations
Some partners like Le Tilleroy re part of our selection because we’ve established partnerships with producers who share our vision of excellence and authenticity — even if they sometimes stray from the beaten path of traditional Belgian gastronomy.
These collaborations allow us to offer a dynamic selection that evolves with the seasons and discoveries, while remaining true to the Belgian spirit that drives us.
Interesting Complementarities
Our catalog is not limited to strictly Belgian products. We also offer international brands and items commonly found in Belgium that are part of Belgians’ everyday consumption habits. This approach allows expatriates to rediscover not only Belgian specialties but also those familiar daily products they were used to when living in Belgium.
This expanded selection reflects the reality of a typical Belgian shopping basket — in a country at the crossroads of Europe, where diverse culinary influences naturally coexist in kitchens and stores.
The Future of Our Partnerships
Our network of partners continues to grow and strengthen, driven by one ambition: to make Belgian flavors increasingly accessible across the globe.
New Horizons
We are currently working on expanding our distribution network in regions where demand for Belgian products is growing, particularly in Africa. These developments are supported by new strategic partnerships with local players who understand the specificities of their markets.
Listening to Your Needs
Our partnerships also evolve based on your feedback and requests. The dialogue we maintain with our community of expatriates and lovers of Belgium helps us identify the products you want to see on our platform.
