You must register via a GMDSS examination centre. 

The practical exam takes place on the equipment used by the candidate during his or her training. 

There is a €73.39 registration fee, which is non-refundable. 

In case of an annulment more than one week before the exam or upon presentation of a medical certificate, the registration fee can be moved to another date. 

To pass, one must obtain 50% of the points for each subject and 60% in total. No exoneration will be granted for the practical part. 

In case of a re-examination, an exemption is only granted for the theoretical parts for which the candidate obtained 70% or more and if the candidate does so within one year after the original examination. 

In the event of a re-examination, the practical part must always be redone.

These changes only concern sales by professionals  to private individuals (B2C).

Example: an online purchase by a Belgian consumer on a Chinese platform. 

• The purchaser must pay the VAT on all goods imported in the EU from third countries.
• For goods up to €150 bought online from outside the EU, the purchaser shall pay the VAT during the purchase if the seller is registered in the new import one-stop shop (IOSS).
• If the seller is not registered in the IOSS or if the purchase amount exceeds €150, the purchaser will in principle pay the VAT to the courier during the delivery.

To avoid any surprises, please check carefully from whom you are purchasing, especially if the VAT and the import duty are included in the selling price. Check your order and your invoice!
