Is importing the 2026 Summer Fridays Summer Set from the US cheaper for Hong Kong shoppers?

Is it actually cheaper to buy the Summer Fridays 'The Summer Set' (2026 Edition) from a US store rather than waiting for it to hit Hong Kong boutique shelves? For most beauty enthusiasts in Hong Kong, the answer is a resounding yes. With the 2026 release of the viral Lip Butter Balm bundle, local resellers are already preparing to list these sets with a 40% markup. By looking at the direct costs, it becomes clear that using a freight forwarder to shop from the US is the smarter financial move.

Why the 2026 Summer Set is trending

The Summer Fridays 'The Summer Set' (2026 Edition) has captured attention because it includes three full-sized Lip Butter Balms in seasonal shades that are exclusive to the US market this year. These shades are formulated specifically for the 2026 collection and are not sold individually in international markets. Because of this exclusivity, demand in Southeast Asia has spiked, leading to inflated prices in local boutiques.

The Math: US Prices vs. Hong Kong Resellers

In the United States, the 2026 Summer Set retails for approximately $65 USD. In Hong Kong, boutique resellers typically list the same set for upwards of $95 USD (approx. 740 HKD). Even after adding the cost of international shipping, the total expenditure remains significantly lower than buying locally. You can use an estimate shipping cost tool to see the exact breakdown, but the savings usually hover around 30% to 40% per bundle.

Shipping Estimates for The Summer Set

To accurately plan your purchase, consider the physical specifications of the bundle. The Summer Set is relatively compact, which makes it an ideal candidate for package forwarding.

How to buy from the US using comGateway

Buying from US retailers like Sephora or the official Summer Fridays site is straightforward when you have a tax-free US address. Many US stores do not ship directly to Hong Kong, or their direct shipping rates are prohibitively expensive. This is where how it works becomes simple: you ship the item to your US warehouse address, and they handle the rest.

If you find that a US store does not accept your Hong Kong credit card, you can utilize a proxy shopping service. This buy for me option allows the forwarder to purchase the item on your behalf, ensuring you don't miss out on limited 2026 inventory. If you have more questions about the process, the FAQ section provides detailed answers on warehouse storage and consolidation.

Hong Kong import tax and customs rules

One of the biggest advantages for Hong Kong shoppers is the city's status as a free port. Generally, there is no import tax on cosmetics like the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balms. Unlike other regions where GST or VAT can add an extra 10-20% to your total, Hong Kong residents only need to worry about the base price and the international shipping service fee.

When selecting your courier, DHL international shipping and FedEx international shipping are the most reliable options for tracking your 2026 Summer Set from the warehouse to your doorstep in Central, Tsim Sha Tsui, or the New Territories. Choosing a premium international shipping service ensures that your balms do not melt in transit during the humid May weather.
