Belgium is unique in its issue of many series of parcel post stamps. Featured here are some representative issues, although some series are by no means complete. In the case of tableaux, the lead catalogue number is identified. There were some re-issues (in different colours) and some surcharges. For more information, the reader is advised to consult a stamp catalogue. Some of the high denomination and most mint stamps are rare and command high prices.
