Belgium: Strikes Affect International Transport

Extensive industrial actions in Belgium are disrupting international transport between Monday, November 24, and Wednesday, November 26, 2025. The widespread strikes may cause delays in both DHL Freight and DHL Global Forwarding import and export shipments to and from Belgium, as well as in shipments transiting through the country.

The strikes will peak with a general strike on Wednesday, November 26, causing significant disruptions to traffic and logistics in Belgium. Expected impacts include:

• Rail Transport: A 72-hour strike limiting domestic and international rail connections.
• Terminals and Ports: Congestion and restricted access.
• Road Transport: Delays at border crossings and possible roadblocks, especially in the Brussels area and on major routes (e.g., E19, E40).
• Air Transport: Flight cancellations on November 26 at Brussels and Charleroi airports.

We apologize for any potential delays. You can track your shipment via DHL Freight’s myDHLFreight portal or DHL Global Forwarding’s myDHLi portal. You may also contact your DHL representative.
