Option 1: Mail the letter online
- Finish the letter and printable attachments as one PDF.
- Upload the PDF using the file selector on this page.
- Continue to PostalForm with Canada preselected for the recipient address. Your sender-address suggestion remains separate, so enter the real return address in Belgium.
- Review the rendered pages, address, eligible mailing services, estimated delivery window, and exact price.
- Pay only after everything is correct. PostalForm then prints, envelopes, and posts the letter.
Option 2: Send it through bpost
Address and seal the envelope, then apply the current bpost Europe or World postage for its destination, size, and weight. An eligible ordinary letter can go into a red bpost mailbox or be handed in at a Post Office or Postal Point. Use a staffed location when you need a mailing receipt or help choosing a proof-oriented service.

Documents, goods, and customs
