Across Belgium

Do you supply luxury door handles to villa contractors and developers in Belgium?

Yes — direct from our Mumbai workshop with no distributor margin. Kakal Brothers has manufactured solid-brass, S.S. 304 and genuine Swarovski-crystal door handles, lever handles and cabinet knobs since 1960, and supplies the contractors, developers, architects and interior designers building Belgium's high-end villas, gated estates and boutique hotels. Send your BOQ or door schedule and we quote per item. WhatsApp +91 98202 48166.

What import duty and VAT apply to door handles shipped to Belgium?

Belgium is part of the EU customs union, so duty runs on the same bloc-wide rules already verified for France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Portugal and Greece -- what differs here is the VAT rate, the customs authority and the ports. Architectural hardware under TARIC/CN heading 8302 (door and cabinet fittings) carries the EU Common Customs Tariff duty, commonly around 2.7%, plus Belgium's standard 21% BTW/TVA (VAT) charged on the customs value plus duty plus freight and insurance to the EU border -- the standard rate; reduced 6% and 12% bands apply to food, books and similar goods, not architectural fittings. Clearance is assessed by the Algemene Administratie van de Douane en Accijnzen / Administration generale des Douanes et Accises (the General Administration of Customs and Excise), the customs directorate inside the Federal Public Service Finance (FOD Financien / SPF Finances), with commercial import declarations lodged on the IDMS platform. There is no India preference to claim yet: the EU and India concluded FTA negotiations in January 2026 and the European Commission advanced the agreement to the Council for approval in September 2026, but as at October 2026 it is neither signed nor ratified -- Council approval, European Parliament consent and India's own ratification are all still pending, with entry into force not expected before early 2027 at the soonest -- so Indian-origin hardware pays the standard TARIC rate today, not a preferential one, and we will tell you honestly which side of that line you are on when your order ships. Every commercial import needs a valid EORI number (BE-prefixed for a Belgian-registered importer) to lodge the declaration. The Port of Antwerp-Bruges -- formed by the 2022 merger of the ports of Antwerp and Zeebrugge and Europe's second-largest container port -- is the near-universal gateway and serves Brussels, Antwerp itself and the Brabant wallon communes within an hour's road haul. Kakal Brothers ships export-ready with commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin and coordinates with your douane-expediteur / expediteur en douane (customs broker).

Which Belgian port should our shipment come through?

The Port of Antwerp-Bruges -- Europe's second-largest container port, formed by the 2022 merger of Antwerp and Zeebrugge -- is the near-universal gateway and serves Brussels, Antwerp and the Brabant wallon communes within an hour's road haul; Knokke-Heist on the coast is served from the same gateway by road. All EU import declarations run through the same TARIC tariff and require a valid EORI number, lodged by your douane-expediteur at the Antwerp-Bruges complex.

How long does it take to get door handle samples to a site in Belgium?

Once you send your BOQ or door schedule we quote per item and air-freight samples to site — typically 10 to 15 working days for standard finishes, and 3 to 4 weeks for fully custom or branded profiles. Sea freight for the main order is quoted separately against your programme dates. WhatsApp +91 98202 48166 with your project details for an exact timeline.

Do you supply hardware for hotels and branded residences in Belgium?

Yes. We run a dedicated bespoke-manufacture service for hospitality contractors and interior designers — custom profiles, engraving, branded handles and project (BOQ) pricing across guestrooms, suites and public areas. That covers the boutique-hotel and serviced-apartment pipeline in Brussels and Antwerp as well as the wider resort and executive-housing market across Belgium.

What does a full hardware package cost for a luxury villa in Belgium?

For a large villa or bungalow, a full door and cabinet hardware package typically starts in the range of ₹6–10 lakh ex-works and scales up for bespoke Swarovski-crystal or PVD-gold specifications. Pricing is quoted per item against your actual door schedule rather than as a package rate, so the figure moves with door count, finish and handing. Freight, duty and VAT are additional and depend on your port and HS classification.

Can you work to an architect's or interior designer's specification?

Yes — that is most of what we do. Send the specification, the finish schedule and the handing, and we manufacture to it. We can match an existing European specification at a fraction of the list price, produce a custom profile from a drawing, or engrave and brand handles for a developer's own estate identity.

Do you work with Belgian developers on multi-unit estates?

Yes. Gated estates and multi-unit schemes are the strongest fit for direct manufacturer supply, because a repeated door schedule across dozens or hundreds of units is exactly where the distributor margin hurts most. We quote per item at project volumes, hold the specification across phases so later units match earlier ones, and ship against your programme.
