La Belgique est un petit marché frontalier certes, mais qui ne doit pas être négligé et traité à part entière comme un marché export. En effet c'est un marché unique en Europe par sa diversité linguistique (Français, Néerlandais et Allemand) et politique (région Bruxelloise, Wallonie et Flandres). Compte tenu de cette fragmentation, l'erreur serait de se contenter de distributeurs qui ne seraient bien implantés que dans une partie du territoire.
