My blueprint for landing the Anker SOLIX C300 DC in Belgium using a US freight forwarder

March 24, 2026

Why I am obsessed with the Anker SOLIX C300 DC

I recently realized that my outdoor adventures in the Ardennes were missing one crucial component: the Anker SOLIX C300 DC. It is a vertical powerhouse that is currently only available across the Atlantic. As a digital nomad based in Belgium, I need reliable power that doesn't weigh me down. This station offers 90,000mAh in a form factor that looks more like a high-end speaker than a bulky battery.

We are seeing a trend where power stations are getting smaller yet more capable. The C300 DC is the peak of this trend in 2026, but since it has not officially launched in the Belgian market, I had to find a creative way to get my hands on one. My goal was simple: get the US version delivered to my door in Brussels without a hitch.

The struggle of buying from US stores in 2026

The first problem I faced was that the Anker SOLIX C300 DC is currently a US-exclusive release. Many of the major retailers that stock it do not offer direct shipping to Europe. Even if they did, the costs would be astronomical. This is where I realized I needed a reliable freight forwarder to provide me with a US-based address.

By using comGateway, I was able to get a tax-free US address in Oregon. This allowed me to shop at US stores as if I were living there. However, a US address is only half the battle. Many stores have become increasingly strict about who they sell to, which led me to the next phase of my blueprint.

My secret weapon: The BuyForMe proxy shopping solution

I have encountered many US stores—think big names like Apple, Nike, or Sephora—that simply refuse my Belgian credit card. They see an international billing address or a known forwarder address and immediately cancel the order. It is incredibly frustrating when you just want to buy the latest tech like the SOLIX C300 DC.

That is why I rely on comGateway's "BuyForMe" service. This is my preferred method for proxy shopping because it bypasses all the common roadblocks. Here is how it works: I tell comGateway what I want, and they buy the item on my behalf using a US domestic credit card.

The benefit is clear: it is the safest way to guarantee my order does not get cancelled by picky US retailers. If you have ever had an order declined because of your Belgian bank card, this service is the fix you have been looking for. It ensures the purchase is handled locally in the US, making the transaction seamless for the store.

Executing the plan: Shipping from the US to Belgium

Once my Anker power station arrived at my tax-free address, I had to manage the international shipping. I always recommend that you use a shipping calculator before committing. This helped me estimate the costs for moving a heavy battery pack across the ocean.

We chose a premium international shipping service to ensure the package was handled with care. Because power stations contain large lithium batteries, they require specific handling. My package forwarding provider handled all the dangerous goods paperwork for me, which saved me a massive amount of stress. I could choose between DHL international shipping or FedEx international shipping depending on which offered the better rate that week.

Handling the Belgian import tax and duties

The final stage of my blueprint involves the Belgian customs office. When you bring electronics into Belgium from outside the EU, you must be prepared for the import tax. In 2026, the standard VAT rate in Belgium remains 21%.

I made sure to keep my invoices ready. My freight forwarder provided clear documentation, which helped the package clear customs in Bierset or Brussels Airport without lengthy delays. By calculating these costs ahead of time, I ensured there were no nasty surprises when the delivery driver arrived. Here is a quick breakdown of what I planned for:

  • Customs Clearance Fees
  • Cost Item Expectation
    US Sales Tax $0 (Using Oregon Address)
    Belgian VAT 21% of the item value
    Varies by carrier (DHL/FedEx)

    My strategy for landing the Anker SOLIX C300 DC was a success. By combining a US address, a proxy shopping service, and a reliable shipping partner, I managed to get a piece of tech that my friends in Antwerp won't see in stores for another year.
