Where your motorcycle arrives in Belgium

Arrival port — Zeebrugge, Belgium

All motorcycle shipments from the USA to Belgium arrive at the Port of Zeebrugge — one of the largest RoRo ports in Europe.

Port of Zeebrugge

West Flanders, Belgium — North Sea coast, near Bruges

A major maritime hub handling containers, bulk cargo, ferries, and vehicles including motorcycles. The appointed recipient retrieves the motorcycle at the port and settles any applicable duties and taxes on-site.

How long does it take

Transit time — USA to Belgium

Expect your motorcycle to arrive in Belgium within 15 to 20 days from the US departure port. Transit begins once your bike is loaded onto the vessel at the departure port.

The full process runs door-to-port. We pick up your motorcycle from your home, dealership, or storage location anywhere in the continental United States and transport it to the designated departure port. Once your bike arrives at the port, it is checked in, documented, and loaded onto the next available sailing to Zeebrugge.

At the destination port, AA Motorcycle Shipping assigns a customs clearance broker on your behalf. The broker’s details are included in your Document Receipt. The recipient — or a representative — collects the motorcycle at the Port of Zeebrugge and handles any applicable import duties and taxes at that time. Payment of duties at the port is typically made in cash on-site.


International shipping methods

RoRo vs container shipping — which is right for your Belgium shipment?

RoRo — Roll-On/Roll-Off

Standard — most international shipments

Your motorcycle is ridden onto a specialized vessel and secured to the deck. Guaranteed departure and arrival dates. Cost-effective and the most widely used international shipping method. Your bike is protected within the vessel — not exposed to the open ocean.

Container Shipping

Premium — high-value and vintage bikes

Your motorcycle is loaded into an enclosed steel shipping container for the ocean voyage. Maximum protection during transit. Recommended for vintage motorcycles, custom builds, and high-value bikes where added security is a priority.


The US domestic leg

From your door to the departure port

Before your motorcycle reaches the ocean, it travels by enclosed truck from your US location to the departure port. Two options are available for this leg of the journey.

Motorcycle secured to enclosed trailer floor with orange ratchet straps — non-palletized domestic shipping leg

Non-Palletized

Standard domestic leg

Your motorcycle is secured to eye bolts on the floor of an enclosed trailer and transported to the US departure port. Safe, reliable, and the most common option for the domestic portion of international shipments.

Motorcycle secured to wooden pallet inside enclosed trailer — palletized domestic shipping leg

Palletized

Premium domestic leg

Your bike is secured to a pallet and loaded into an enclosed air-ride trailer with a forklift. Maximum protection for the domestic leg. Recommended for vintage, custom, or high-value motorcycles heading to Belgium.


What you need to ship to Belgium

Required documentation

Have the following ready before your shipment is booked. Missing documents can delay your departure date.

  • Bill of sale
  • Customs clearance broker — assigned by AA Motorcycle Shipping (details on your Document Receipt)

If you have questions about documentation for your specific situation, call us at 1-888-347-1391 before booking.


Customs and import duties

What to expect at the Port of Zeebrugge

AA Motorcycle Shipping assigns a licensed customs clearance broker for your Belgium shipment. The broker’s contact information and details are included in your Document Receipt, which is provided after booking. The broker handles the import clearance process on your behalf at the Port of Zeebrugge.

The recipient — or an authorized representative — is responsible for collecting the motorcycle at the port and settling any applicable import duties and taxes at that time. Duty payments are typically made in cash on-site at the port. The exact duty amount depends on the declared value of the motorcycle and applicable Belgian and EU import regulations at the time of arrival.

We do not publish estimated duty rates as these vary and are subject to change. Contact our team if you have specific questions about the customs process for your shipment.

Why riders choose AA for Belgium

Shipping motorcycles from the USA to Belgium since 1983

Belgium has one of the most active motorcycle touring scenes in Europe. The Ardennes — rolling forested hills in the south of the country — draw riders from across the continent, and expats arriving in Brussels or military personnel stationed at NATO headquarters regularly need their bikes shipped from the States. We’ve been handling these shipments for over 40 years.

AA Motorcycle Shipping is not a broker and not a lead-gen service. When you book with us, we coordinate your shipment from US pickup to Belgian port — one company, start to finish. We assign your customs clearance broker, provide all documentation, and confirm your sailing date. You don’t get handed off to a third party halfway through.

RoRo shipping is our standard method for Belgium and the rest of Europe. It’s the most cost-effective, widely used international method for motorcycles — and with guaranteed departure and arrival dates, you know exactly when your bike is moving. For high-value customs, vintage Harleys, or anything where maximum protection is the priority, container shipping is the alternative.

Weekly sailings from 8 US ports mean there’s almost always a departure available regardless of where you are in the country. East Coast riders typically depart from Newark, Baltimore, or Charleston. West Coast riders use Long Beach. Gulf Coast riders depart from Galveston. We’ll route your pickup to the most practical port for your shipment.


What we ship to Belgium

Every type of motorcycle — shipped internationally

Harleys, Hondas, BMWs, Ducatis, Triumphs, Indians, Kawasakis, Yamahas, Suzukis — cruisers, tourers, adventure bikes, sport bikes, vintage classics, custom builds. If it has two wheels and a motor, we’ve shipped it internationally.

  • Harley-Davidson (all models)
  • Sport bikes & crotch rockets
  • Cruisers & touring bikes
  • Adventure & dual-sport bikes
  • Vintage & classic motorcycles
  • Custom builds
  • Electric motorcycles
  • Trikes & sidecars

For electric motorcycles, oversized bikes, or sidecars, call us before booking — some configurations have special handling requirements for ocean freight.


Forms of payment

How to pay for your Belgium motorcycle shipment

  • Zelle
  • Venmo
  • Bank of America deposit
  • Wire transfer
  • Cashier’s check
  • Regular check
  • Credit card
  • Debit card

This was my first time arranging transport for a motorcycle and my experience was excellent. Every step was seamless from quote to payment from pick-up to delivery. The driver communicated with us and was prompt regarding drop off time. I will recommend AA to colleagues and friends needing vehicles transported in the future.

Due to some communication failures, we were initially sent to the wrong address in Sacramento to drop off my '14 Ultra Limited. After several frantic calls to AA Shipping in San Diego, we finally reached the Valley Relocation and Storage dispatcher who went out of her way to find us in that industrial complex. Danielle was fantastic!! Once she took control of the situation, I was able to ride the bike onto the custom pallet, warehouse gentlemen (super nice and real experts) carefully and expertly strapped the bike down, and my wife and I began our own drive across the country. We arrived in Massachusetts in 6 days; we got a phone call the following day--the bike arrived at the Sterling terminal in Lowell, MA on the 7th day! There, the guys were incredibly helpful getting the bike's battery jumped started. I can honestly say that you could do a lot worse with other motorcycle shippers, but you couldn't do better than AA Shipping. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

AMAZING service!. Julia started off by helping me navigate the on line process, then responded quickly to any questions I had throughout the transport. When a possible additional charge was suggested, Julia was able to mitigate it. My vehicle arrived in perfect condition, and the driver was very careful to unload it with great care. I could not be more pleased with the overall experience. Thank you, AA.

Fantastic service from start to finish. I contacted another company before them and was quoted nearly double the price. These guys were professional, affordable, and communicated with me throughout the entire process from pickup to delivery. No hidden fees, no surprises, and my bike arrived without any issues. I highly recommend them to anyone needing motorcycle transport.

I have used AA Motorcycle shipping a few times over the last 5years and recommended them many times. Their pricing is fair, they are prompt, courteous, and take great care in what they do.

I was extremely hesitant to ship my motorcycle from San Diego to Oregon. The thought of pre-paying $1,000 for strangers to come and load my bike up in their box truck and drive away, hoping to see them again a few days later, made me sick to my stomach. I'm so happy I was absolutely wrong to have any negative thoughts about AA Motorcycle Shipping. They were extremely professional, communicative, and took great care of my bike. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to ship a motorcycle anywhere in the country!
Response from the owner:Thanks for the trust and the business Riley.

got my motorcycle from Maryland to Utah in a pretty timely manner. I also needed some same day shipping and they were able to accommodate me by allowing me to bring the motorcycle to their shipping facility to get it on a crate. The customer service agent I called was also super helpful (she works in accounting, can't remember her name). Will absolutely use again if the need arises.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the business Caelan and her name is Julia.

AA Motorcycle did a great job moving my bike from Dallas to Las Vegas. The bike was delivered efficiently without any damage which sounds simple but if you've shipped a bike before you know is not always the case. They showed a lot of flexibility by delivering it to a location which wasn't originally requested when I made the reservations. I would use AA again if I needed to move my bike again in the future.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the business

Frequently asked questions

Shipping a motorcycle from the USA to Belgium — common questions

  • How much does it cost to ship a motorcycle from the USA to Belgium?

    We do not publish flat rates for international shipments as pricing depends on the motorcycle’s year, make, and model, your US pickup location, the departure port, and the shipping method (RoRo or container). Use our international quote form or call 1-888-347-1391 to get an accurate quote for your specific shipment.

  • How long does it take to ship a motorcycle from the USA to Belgium?

    Expect approximately 15 to 20 days from the US departure port to the Port of Zeebrugge in Belgium. This does not include the domestic transit time from your US pickup location to the departure port, which typically adds a few additional days depending on your location.

  • What is RoRo shipping and is it safe for motorcycles?

    RoRo stands for Roll-On/Roll-Off. Your motorcycle is ridden onto a specialized vessel and secured to the deck inside the ship — protected from the open ocean. RoRo is the most widely used and cost-effective international shipping method for motorcycles, with guaranteed departure and arrival dates. The vast majority of our international motorcycle shipments to Belgium use RoRo.

  • What is the difference between RoRo and container shipping?

    RoRo is the standard method — your motorcycle is secured inside the vessel on its own wheels. Container shipping loads your bike into an enclosed steel shipping container for the ocean voyage, providing maximum protection. Container shipping is recommended for vintage motorcycles, custom builds, or high-value bikes where added security during transit is the priority.

  • What documents do I need to ship a motorcycle to Belgium?

    You will need the bill of sale for your motorcycle. AA Motorcycle Shipping assigns a licensed customs clearance broker on your behalf — the broker’s details are provided in your Document Receipt after booking. If you have questions about documentation for your specific situation, call us before booking at 1-888-347-1391.

  • How does customs and import duty work when shipping to Belgium?

    AA Motorcycle Shipping assigns a licensed customs clearance broker who handles the import process at the Port of Zeebrugge. The recipient — or an authorized representative — collects the motorcycle at the port and is responsible for settling applicable import duties and taxes on-site. We do not publish specific duty rates as these vary based on the motorcycle’s declared value and applicable Belgian and EU import regulations at the time of arrival.

  • What does door-to-port mean for a Belgium motorcycle shipment?

    Door-to-port means we pick up your motorcycle from your US address — home, dealership, or storage unit — and coordinate everything through to the Port of Zeebrugge in Belgium. We handle the US domestic leg (pickup to departure port) and the ocean freight leg. From the port in Belgium, the recipient collects the bike after customs clearance.

  • Is a military or veteran discount available for international shipments to Belgium?

    Yes — Military, Veteran, and 1st Responder discounts are available including for international shipments. NATO personnel and military members shipping to Belgium are welcome to ask about the discount. Submit your quote online first, then call us at 1-888-347-1391 to apply it before booking.
