Gozney Arc XL US Edition vs. Belgian Retail: Why ignoring the import route might cost you hundreds

Why the Gozney Arc XL is 2026's Hottest Outdoor Tech

Outdoor cooking has evolved past basic charcoal grills. In 2026, the obsession with professional-grade pizza at home has hit an all-time high in Europe. The Gozney Arc XL is at the center of this movement because it brings commercial-grade flame technology into a form factor that fits on a standard balcony or patio. It is currently one of the most popular products in US trends, favored for its lateral gas burner that mimics a wood-fired environment without the mess.

Just a moment, securing your connection...

For those living in Belgium, the allure of perfectly charred leopard-spotting on a sourdough crust is hard to resist. However, getting your hands on one locally often comes with a steep "boutique tax" that can make the oven feel like a luxury few can afford. That is why many Belgian hobbyists are looking toward the US market to secure their equipment.

Price Comparison: USA vs. Belgium

If you walk into a high-end outdoor kitchen store in Brussels or Antwerp, you might see the Arc XL priced significantly higher than its American counterpart. When you account for the current exchange rates in 2026, the US retail price is roughly 30% lower. Even after considering international shipping, the savings remain substantial enough to buy a year's worth of premium flour and toppings.

How to Buy the US Edition from Belgium

The biggest hurdle is that most US retailers do not ship heavy outdoor ovens directly to Europe. This is where using a freight forwarder like comGateway becomes essential. By using a package forwarding service, you get a tax-free US address to use at checkout. The store ships the oven to the US warehouse, and then it is forwarded to your door in Belgium.

If you are worried about the process, check out this step-by-step guide on how it works. It simplifies the entire cross-border shopping experience, making it as easy as ordering from a local webshop.

Shipping Estimates & Logistics Analysis

Before you hit the buy button, you need to understand the logistics of moving a heavy-duty pizza oven across the Atlantic. This isn't a small parcel, and the costs can vary based on the carrier you choose, such as DHL international shipping or FedEx international shipping.

To get a precise figure for your doorstep, use the shipping calculator to compare rates. Don't ignore this step; knowing your costs upfront prevents any surprises when the oven reaches the warehouse.

Understanding Belgium Import Tax & Duties

When you ship to Belgium, you must account for the import tax. Belgium typically applies a 21% VAT on the total value of the goods plus shipping costs. Additionally, there may be small customs duties for outdoor appliances. Even with these added costs, the 30% US discount often keeps the total price well below Belgian retail prices. It is a classic case of proxy shopping saving the day for the savvy consumer.

Avoiding Shipping Traps and Prohibited Items

One major warning for Belgian buyers: ignore the shipping rules at your own peril. While the oven itself is fine, certain accessories like pressurized gas canisters or specific cleaning chemicals cannot be shipped internationally. Check our guide on prohibited items to make sure you aren't adding restricted goods to your cart.

Using a reliable freight forwarder ensures that your oven is handled with care. If you ignore these logistics details, you risk having your package delayed at customs or, worse, returned to the sender at your expense. Stick to the plan, calculate your international shipping costs early, and you'll be making world-class pizza in your Belgian backyard by next week.
