I found a way to get the US-only Acaia Lunar 2026 Titanium Grey delivered to my door in the Netherlands

Why I needed the Titanium Grey Acaia Lunar
I have spent most of 2026 perfecting my home espresso bar. If you are like me and spend your weekends dialling in light roasts, you already know about the Acaia Lunar. It is widely considered the gold standard for espresso scales. However, my heart was set on the new 2026 Edition in Titanium Grey. This specific finish is a US-exclusive release, and I quickly realized it was not going to show up on the shelves of my local shops here in the Netherlands anytime soon.
I wanted that sleek, industrial look to match my Decent DE1 setup. The Titanium Grey has a specialized coating that I found more resistant to water spots than the standard black or silver models. Since I could not buy it locally, I had to look into an international shipping service to get it from a US retailer to my kitchen in Amsterdam.
Shipping Estimates and Logistics
When I started planning this import, I needed to know exactly what I was getting into regarding the box size and weight. I used a shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost before I hit the checkout button. Based on my experience with this specific 2026 edition, here are the logistical specs I worked with.
| Attribute | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Box Weight | Approx. 0.6 kg (1.3 lbs) |
| Box Dimensions | 18 cm x 18 cm x 8 cm |
| Item Type | Small Electronics |
Battery and Volumetric Notes
I should mention a few things I learned about the shipping process for this scale. First, the Acaia Lunar contains a built-in lithium-ion battery. Most people do not realize that items with batteries have specific international shipping rules. I had to ensure my freight forwarder was comfortable handling electronics with internal batteries. Usually, this just means a specific label on the box, but it is worth checking.
Regarding the size, I did not have to worry about a Volumetric Warning. Volumetric weight usually applies to items that are very light but take up a lot of space, like a large pillow. Because the Lunar is compact and relatively dense for its size, I was charged based on the actual weight rather than the space it occupied in the plane.
Buying from the USA to Holland
I decided to shop US store options that had the Titanium Grey in stock. Since many of these retailers do not offer direct Netherlands delivery, I signed up for a tax-free US address through comGateway. This allowed me to buy the scale from a US boutique coffee site and have it sent to a warehouse in Oregon first.
By using a freight forwarder, I managed to consolidate a few other small coffee accessories I had been eyeing, which helped me save on the total cost. If you are looking to buy from US ship to Netherlands, this is easily the most reliable method I have found. My package arrived at the warehouse, and I was notified immediately to settle the final leg of the journey to my house.
Netherlands Customs and VAT
I am often asked about the extra costs when things arrive at the Dutch border. We have to be realistic about import tax and GST/VAT. For the Netherlands, you should expect to pay 21% VAT on the value of the scale plus the shipping cost. Sometimes there are additional customs tax fees depending on the exact classification of the item.
I always suggest checking out the latest import duties updates on the comGateway blog. They have a great section on customs tax that helped me understand why my bill was a certain amount. Even with the added tax, getting the Titanium Grey 2026 Edition was worth it for me because the specific model simply is not available anywhere else. My espresso workflow has never looked better, and I have the peace of mind knowing I have the exact setup I wanted without settling for the standard colors available in Europe.
