I found a way to sip on the Summer Fridays Iced Coffee balm in the Netherlands

The Iced Coffee Hype: Why I’m Obsessed with this 2026 Drop

It’s April 2026, and if you follow the clean beauty scene as closely as I do, you know that the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in 'Iced Coffee' is the only thing people are talking about. This year's seasonal flavor isn't just a scent; it’s a vibe. It provides that perfect sheer, cool-toned brown tint that mimics a chilled latte, and the aroma is exactly like my morning brew. However, there is a catch: it is a US-exclusive release. As someone living in the Netherlands, I knew I had to get creative to get my hands on one before they sold out.

How I Shop US Exclusives from the Netherlands

When I first tried to buy from the official US site, I realized they wouldn't ship directly to my Amsterdam address. That is when I looked into an international shipping service. Many US retailers, especially during high-demand 2026 drops, often restrict their shipping zones. If you find that your Dutch credit card is getting declined, you might want to try a proxy shopping service like BuyForMe, which handles the transaction for you using a US-based payment method.

My Secret Weapon: Using a Freight Forwarder

I’ve learned that the most reliable way to bridge the gap between New York and the North Sea is a trusted freight forwarder. By using comGateway, I get access to a tax-free US address in Oregon. This means when I buy the balm from a US store, I don't pay US sales tax, which saves me a few Euros right off the bat. Once it arrives at the warehouse, they notify me, and I can choose my preferred international shipping rates based on how fast I want that coffee scent on my lips.

Shipping Estimates: What You’ll Actually Pay

To help you plan your 2026 beauty haul, I’ve put together a quick estimate of what to expect for this specific item. While a single lip balm is tiny, shipping companies usually have a minimum weight bracket.

I always recommend using a shipping calculator to get a precise quote before you commit. Remember, it is often more cost-effective to bundle a few items together into one shipment.

Handling Netherlands Import Tax and Customs

When the package hits the Dutch border, it will go through customs. In 2026, the Netherlands continues to apply a 21% BTW (VAT) on all imports from outside the EU. Because the Summer Fridays balm is a relatively low-value item, you likely won't hit the threshold for heavy customs duties, but you should always be prepared for the import tax and a small handling fee from the local carrier. If you have questions about how these fees are calculated, the comGateway FAQ section is a great place to look for clarity on international shipping regulations.

My Step-by-Step Guide to Scoring the Balm

If you are ready to try this yourself, here is how it works in five simple steps:

• Sign up for a free US address at comGateway.
• Head to the US Summer Fridays website or Sephora US.
• Enter your new US address at checkout.
• Once the warehouse receives your balm, select your preferred shipping method (I usually pick DHL international shipping for speed or FedEx international shipping for reliability).
• Pay your shipping fees and wait for that glorious 'Iced Coffee' delivery!

I’ve found that this method is the most consistent way to keep my 2026 beauty collection up to date without waiting months for a local release that might never happen.
