I ran rings around the paperwork to get my Oura Ring Gen3 Horizon from the US to China

Why I chose the Horizon Edition in 2026

I have always been a bit of a data nerd, but I find most smartwatches too bulky for my style. In early 2026, I noticed a huge trend in Seoul for 'invisible' health tech—gadgets that do the work without looking like a computer strapped to your wrist. That is what led me to the Oura Ring Gen3 Horizon Edition. It is perfectly circular, sleek, and tracks everything from my sleep quality to my stress levels without a single flashing light.

More about shipping to China

Living in China, I wanted something that felt premium and minimalist. The Horizon Edition's design is a step up from the Heritage model, offering a seamless look that blends in with my other jewelry. Since I am busy, I wanted a health tracker that just works in the background while I focus on my day.

Why I skipped the local stores for a US purchase

While I could have looked for local resellers, I realized that buying directly from the US was the only way to ensure I got the full experience. I wanted the specific Brushed Titanium finish, which is often out of stock or marked up significantly in local markets. Plus, the US store allows you to access the official sizing kit program. I found it much better to shop us store selections directly to get exactly what I wanted.

The sizing kit is essential because an Oura Ring fit is different from a standard ring. By ordering from the US, I received the plastic sizing rings first, wore one for 24 hours to ensure a perfect fit, and then confirmed my order for the actual Gen3 Horizon. It felt like a much safer bet than guessing my size and dealing with international returns.

My lazy person's method for international shipping

I am the first to admit that I hate paperwork. The idea of dealing with export documents or complex logistics makes me want to take a nap. That is why I used comGateway as my freight forwarder. They provided me with a tax-free us address in Oregon, which meant I didn't have to pay US sales tax on my purchase. This saved me a decent chunk of change right at the start.

To keep things simple, I used their shipping calculator to see what the damage would be before I even clicked 'buy.' If you are curious about the logistics, the step-by-step guide on their website explains the whole process of how they receive the package and send it to your door. I also spent a few minutes in their help center to clarify how they handle multiple packages, as I also picked up some extra chargers.

Estimated shipping specs for the Oura Ring

If you are planning to follow my lead, here is what I found regarding the physical shipping details. The Oura Ring is tiny, but the packaging is quite premium and adds a bit of weight.

Because the ring contains a lithium battery, I made sure to check the restricted goods section. Most couriers are fine with lithium batteries when they are contained within the equipment (like a ring or a phone), but it is always smart to double-check the latest 2026 shipping rules to avoid delays.

Navigating China's import scene without a headache

When I arranged my ship to China, I was mostly worried about the customs process. China has specific regulations regarding electronics and personal imports. I made sure to read up on import tax to understand the potential costs. Generally, for personal items under a certain value, the process is straightforward, but you should be prepared to provide your ID information for customs clearance.

My China delivery arrived right at my door in Shanghai, and the package was in perfect condition. Using a forwarder meant I didn't have to communicate with the US store about international shipping forms; the forwarder handled the export declaration for me. It was truly the 'lazy method' I was looking for. I spent more time choosing which finger to wear the ring on than I did on the actual shipping logistics.
