Export Car to Belgium - RDW Recognized Export Office Hengelo
Moving a car from the Netherlands to Belgium? Auto Export Document in Hengelo prepares all the paperwork Belgian buyers need to register a Dutch vehicle back home. Belgium is a close, familiar market: shared language, comparable road conditions and a steady demand for reliable Dutch occasions from Antwerp to Brussels. We take care of the RDW export certificate, the deregistration and, if you drive across, the export insurance and export plates in a single 15-minute visit.
Why export a car from the Netherlands to Belgium in 2026?
Belgium and the Netherlands share an open border and a large cross-border car trade. Flemish and Walloon buyers regularly hunt for Dutch occasions because of the clear ownership history, the strict APK inspections and the favourable prices compared to Belgian dealers.
As a fellow EU member, Belgium levies no import duties on a Dutch vehicle. Registration runs through the DIV (Direction pour l\u2019Immatriculation des V\u00e9hicules / Dienst voor Inschrijving van Voertuigen), the Belgian registration authority, using the RDW export certificate and proof of purchase. A technical inspection (keuring) is required before the Belgian plate is issued.
The trip is short. From Hengelo it is roughly 230 km to Brussels via the A1 and E19, or even less to Antwerp. Most Belgian buyers complete the drive home in around two and a half hours.
