While the original was loved for its subtlety, the 2026 version incorporates a serum-infused core that provides hydration alongside warmth. For beauty enthusiasts in Belgium, the struggle is real: this specific refresh is currently a US-exclusive release, leaving many local shoppers wondering how to get that effortless glow without a plane ticket to New York.

Merit US Prices vs. Belgian Markups

When you look at the price tag in a US store compared to what boutique importers or third-party resellers in Europe charge, the difference is startling. Buying directly from the US allows you to pay the original retail price, which is often 30-40% lower than the 'landed' price found in European specialty shops. Even when you factor in international shipping, the savings remain significant, especially if you are bundling multiple items from the Spring 2026 collection.

The Secret to Shopping US-Exclusive Beauty

Since Merit does not ship directly to every corner of the globe, savvy shoppers use a freight forwarder to bridge the gap. By using comGateway, you can shop US stores as if you lived there. This service provides you with a tax-free US address in Oregon, meaning you won't pay any US sales tax on your purchase.

If you find that your Belgian credit card is being declined at checkout, you can even utilize proxy shopping services where an agent handles the purchase for you. This is often referred to as the 'Buy For Me' service, ensuring you don't miss out on limited-edition refreshes.

To get a more precise figure for your total haul, you can use the shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost based on the current 2026 rates. You might also like to check our guide on bundling items to save on your international shipping service.

Understanding Import Tax and Belgium Delivery

When your package arrives in Europe, it will be subject to local regulations. For a Belgium delivery, you should be aware of the 21% VAT and potential customs duties. While the import tax is an added cost, the lower US base price often ensures the total remains cheaper than buying through a local middleman.

Before you ship, always consult the list of prohibited items to ensure your specific cosmetics do not contain restricted aerosols or flammable liquids. If you have questions about customs documentation, the FAQ section is a great resource for support.

Your Step-by-Step Guide to Package Forwarding

Ready to get that glow? Here is a simple how it works breakdown to get your ship to Belgium order started:

• Sign up for a free account to receive your tax-free US address.
• Shop at Merit Beauty or other US retailers and enter your new US address at checkout.
• Once your balm arrives at the warehouse, choose your preferred carrier—such as DHL international shipping or FedEx international shipping—for the final leg.
• Track your package until it reaches your doorstep in Belgium.

By bypassing the inflated local prices and using a reliable international shipping partner, you can stay ahead of the 2026 beauty trends without overextending your wallet. For more details on localized shipping, visit the buy from US ship to Belgium destination page.
