My experience getting the Framework Laptop 13 Core Ultra Series 2 to Belgium without the paperwork

My obsession with modularity in 2026

It is 2026, and I finally decided that my old laptop just wasn't cutting it. I have been watching the buzz around the Framework Laptop 13 (Intel Core Ultra Series 2 Edition), and the reviews from tech circles in places like New Zealand and the US have been glowing. We techies in Belgium often have to wait months for the latest configurations to hit local shelves, and even then, we do not always get the full DIY freedom that Framework is known for. I wanted that specific Intel Core Ultra Series 2 power for my mobile workstation without waiting for a local distributor to decide it is our turn.

Ordering from the US to get the best DIY specs

I realized that if I wanted the specific expansion cards and the high-capacity battery options available right now, I had to shop the US store directly. The modularity of the 2026 edition is incredible; we are talking about significantly better power efficiency and NPU performance that actually makes a difference in my daily workflow. To make this happen, I knew I needed a reliable freight forwarder to bridge the gap between a US warehouse and my doorstep in Brussels. I found that using a comGateway account allowed me to access a **tax-free US address**, which saved me a decent chunk of change on the initial purchase price before it even left the States.

Shipping estimates for the Framework Laptop 13

Before I committed my hard-earned Euros, I had to make sure the logistics made sense. If you are looking to do the same, here is what I found regarding the physical package for the Framework 13.

The lazy way I used a freight forwarder

I am all about doing the least amount of work possible when it comes to logistics. I do not want to spend my weekend filling out complicated export declarations. My strategy was simple: I sent my laptop to my US address and let the pros handle the rest. I used the shipping calculator to get a clear picture of my costs upfront. It was a relief to see that the international shipping rates were quite reasonable for a high-value item like this.

Once the package arrived at the warehouse, I just clicked 'ship' and they handled the international transit. This is definitely the way to shop us ship international if you want to avoid the headache of coordinating with multiple carriers yourself.

Handling Belgian VAT and import fees

One thing we can't escape in Belgium is the 21% VAT. When my Framework Laptop 13 arrived, I knew there would be some extra costs at the border. Because I used a reputable service, the paperwork was clearly attached to the outside of the box, which meant it cleared customs in Liège much faster than my previous international orders. You should always budget for these import duties so there are no surprises when the courier rings your doorbell. Check out our guide on how these taxes are calculated if you are curious about the math.

My final thoughts on the 2026 refresh

I have been using the Intel Core Ultra Series 2 edition for a week now, and the battery life is a massive step up from the previous generations. Being able to swap my ports on the fly is still the coolest thing about this device. If you are in Belgium and tired of waiting for local stock of the newest DIY tech, I highly recommend this route. It was much easier than I expected, and I did not have to deal with any confusing bureaucracy. I just sat back and waited for my new favorite machine to arrive.
