Getting a Mode Tempo delivered to Belgium without the usual paperwork headache

Understanding the Mode Tempo obsession

By April 2026, the mechanical keyboard community has seen its fair share of flash-in-the-pan trends, but the Mode Tempo remains a constant favorite. This 60% layout board from US-based Mode Designs has captured the attention of hobbyists in Belgium and beyond because of its unique lattice mount system and the incredibly "creamy" sound profile it produces. Unlike mass-produced boards you find in local electronics stores, the Tempo offers a level of customization—from copper weights to multi-colored accents—that makes it feel like a piece of functional art.

Enthusiasts often look toward US stores because that is where the most consistent stock and latest limited-edition colorways are available. However, getting these heavy aluminum beauties across the Atlantic often feels like a chore. If you want the board without the stress, choosing a reliable freight forwarder like comGateway is the move many experienced builders are making this year.

Ordering directly from the US source

Buying from the US allows you to access the full configurator on the Mode Designs website. You can pick your plate material, choose between hotswap or soldered PCBs, and select your favorite top-case finish. When you reach the checkout, you might notice that direct international shipping to Europe can be pricey or sometimes unavailable for certain configurations. This is where using a tax-free US address changes the game.

By sending your package to a US-based address first, you avoid paying US sales tax at the point of purchase. From there, your keyboard is forwarded to your doorstep in Belgium. If you find the US checkout process confusing or if the store doesn't accept your specific credit card, you can use a BuyForMe service for an assisted purchase. This proxy shopping method is the ultimate lazy way to shop because the forwarder handles the transaction for you.

Calculating your shipping estimates

Before you commit to your build, it is smart to look at the logistics of moving a dense piece of aluminum across the world. Use a shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost so there are no surprises when the package arrives in Brussels or Antwerp.

You can also review the current international shipping rates to compare different courier speeds. Since the item does not contain batteries, you have more flexibility with international shipping options and can often choose faster air freight without restrictions.

Handling Belgium import taxes the easy way

Importing goods into Belgium in 2026 means dealing with the federal customs entity. Generally, you will be looking at a 21% VAT on the total value of the keyboard and shipping. While some people find import tax and customs tax intimidating, modern forwarding services often provide pre-declaration tools to make the process seamless. Check our guide on import duties to see how to properly document your hobbyist gear to avoid delays at the border.

Simplifying your delivery to Belgium

If you want to shop US store options and get a ship to Belgium service that doesn't require a degree in logistics, following a step-by-step guide is your best bet. The how it works process is straightforward: you sign up for an account, get your US address, and use it at the Mode Designs checkout.

Once your Mode Tempo reaches the warehouse, you can even request a photo of the box to ensure your premium keyboard arrived safely from the manufacturer. From there, you just authorize the Belgium delivery and wait for the courier to bring that sweet, thocky goodness to your door. This method is the most efficient way to buy from US ship to Belgium without spending hours on paperwork or dealing with complicated export forms. Now, all that is left is choosing which switches will complement your new Tempo build.
