For those of us in India, the struggle is real. We often see these us trends months or even years before they hit our local shelves. The 2026 Merit update is currently not available in Asian retail markets, which means if you want that specific dewy, lightweight finish, you have to look toward the US market.

Myth vs. Reality: Getting US Beauty Brands in India

There is a common myth among Indian shoppers that ordering high-end makeup from the US is either impossible or will cost triple the product price in shipping. Let's clear that up. While direct international shipping from some brands can be hit or miss, using a tax-free us address simplifies the entire process. You do not have to wait for a miracle at your local Sephora.

Another misconception is that the process is too technical. In reality, it is as simple as shopping on any other site, but instead of your home address, you use a dedicated US suite number. This allows you to forward packages directly to your doorstep in Mumbai, Delhi, or Bangalore without the usual headaches.

How to Buy from US Stores Right Now

Since Merit Beauty’s official site and major US retailers like Sephora US often have the best stock of the 2026 Serum-Infused stick, that is your best bet. If you find that a US store does not accept your local credit card, you can always use an assisted purchase service to have the shopping done on your behalf.

Once your item reaches the warehouse, you can check the international shipping rates to see which courier fits your budget. Most beauty enthusiasts prefer bundling a few items together to make the most of the base shipping cost.

Shipping Estimates for the Merit Complexion Stick

Before you hit the checkout button, it helps to know what the logistics look like for a small item like a complexion stick. Use a shipping calculator for a more precise quote, but here are the general estimates for this specific product:

Customs and Local Taxes in India

When the package arrives in India, it will go through customs clearance. You should be prepared for the standard import tax and GST that applies to cosmetic imports. Check our guide on import duties to understand how these fees are calculated so there are no surprises when the delivery guy rings your bell.

By taking matters into your own hands rather than waiting for a local launch, you get access to the freshest batches of the 2026 formula. It is a straightforward way to keep your makeup kit ahead of the curve while enjoying the high-performance ingredients that Merit is known for.
