Prosecutors say the clues were found during a raid on a flat on 10 December, confirming an earlier report by a Belgian newspaper.
The find suggests that the 13 November shooting and suicide bomb attacks in Paris, in which 130 people were killed, were at least partially planned in Belgium.
A fingerprint belonging to Paris attacks fugitive Salah Abdeslam was discovered, along with clues suggesting explosive belts may have been manufactured there.
"Material that can be used to fabricate explosives as well as traces of TATP (acetone peroxide) were found," a statement from the Belgian federal prosecutor said.
"Three handmade belts that might be used to transport explosives as well as a fingerprint of Salah Abdeslam were also discovered."
Abdeslam's brother Brahim blew himself up during the Paris attacks. He is still on the run after disappearing following the massacres.
