Is using a freight forwarder the only way to get the Summer Fridays Iced Coffee balm in Taiwan right now?

Why the Iced Coffee shade is haunting your feed

If you have scrolled through TikTok at any point in early 2026, you have likely seen the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in the limited-edition 'Iced Coffee' shade. It is that perfect cool-toned, caffeinated nude that looks good on everyone. The problem? It is perpetually out of stock. While it’s a viral sensation in the US, finding it in Taiwan or even at Sephora outlets across Malaysia has become nearly impossible. This scarcity has turned a simple $24 lip product into a high-stakes hunt for beauty enthusiasts in Taipei and beyond.

Save $15 on your total beauty haul by grouping your US orders

Save $15 on your total beauty haul by grouping your US orders into a single shipment rather than paying for individual deliveries. When you shop for small items like the Summer Fridays balm, the shipping cost can sometimes feel disproportionate to the product price. However, by using a parcel forwarding service, you can shop from multiple US stores—like Sephora, Revolve, and the official Summer Fridays site—and have them all sent to one tax-free US address. This consolidation strategy is how savvy shoppers in Taiwan manage to keep their collection updated without breaking the bank.

Securing the balm from US retailers

Since local stock is non-existent, your best chance is to head straight to the source. The US Sephora store and the Summer Fridays website are the most reliable places to find restocks. If you find that these stores are difficult to navigate with a non-US credit card, you can use an assisted purchase service. This allows someone in the US to buy the item on your behalf, ensuring you don't miss out on the few minutes a restock lasts. Once purchased, the items are sent to a freight forwarder who then handles the journey to Taiwan.

Shipping Estimates: Weights and Dimensions

To help you plan your budget, here is a breakdown of what to expect when shipping this specific item to Taiwan. You can always use a estimate shipping cost tool to get the most accurate price based on current international shipping rates.

Before checking out, it is wise to review the list of restricted goods to ensure your entire haul complies with current 2026 safety standards for air freight.

What you need to know about Taiwan import duties in 2026

Importing cosmetics into Taiwan comes with specific rules. As of 2026, Taiwan maintains a de minimis threshold for customs tax. If your shipment value (including shipping costs) is under TWD 2,000, you are typically exempt from duties, provided you haven't exceeded the frequency limit of six imports per half-year. If you go over this, be prepared for import duties which generally range from 5% to 10% for beauty products plus 5% VAT. Keeping your individual shipments small or spacing them out can help you avoid these extra costs.

Why a parcel forwarding service is your best bet

Is it a lot of work for a lip balm? For some, maybe. But for those who want that specific Iced Coffee aesthetic that has taken over social media, using comGateway to bridge the gap between the US and Taiwan is the most reliable method. You get access to the same inventory as a US resident and the peace of mind that your package is being handled by professionals. Check our guide on shipping rules if you plan on adding perfumes or aerosols to your order, as those require different handling than a simple lip balm.
