My fast track to getting the Summer Fridays Iced Matcha lip balm to Belgium using a freight forwarder

May 08, 2026

I noticed my TikTok feed was absolutely flooded with the new Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in 'Iced Matcha' last week. It is a US Sephora and brand-site exclusive that has become a massive 'Rising Star' because it perfectly hits that 'Clean Girl' aesthetic everyone in Manila and Europe is chasing in 2026. The shade is a subtle, cool-toned green that goes on clear but gives this incredible glassy sheen that we just can't get enough of. I saw it on the us trends list and knew I had to act fast before the resellers grabbed everything.

How I bought it from the US stores

Since the Iced Matcha drop was restricted to the US website, I couldn't just use my local Belgian credit card on some sites without issues. To get around the shipping blocks, I used a tax-free us address provided by my favorite freight forwarder. This allowed me to shop the US Sephora store like a local. If you find that a US store won't accept your international payment method, I highly recommend using a proxy shopping service. I used the BuyForMe service for a previous drop and it was a lifesaver for bypassing regional checkout errors.

The shipping breakdown for Belgium

When I ship beauty products to Belgium, I always prioritize speed and tracking. I used an international shipping service that offered express options like DHL or FedEx international shipping. To make sure I wasn't surprised by the total, I hopped onto the shipping calculator to see how much a small parcel would cost. Because the lip balm is so light, it is actually quite affordable if you combine it with a few other items in one shipment through package forwarding.

Navigating Belgian import tax

One thing we have to be careful about in Belgium is the import tax. Since 2021, and still very much applicable in 2026, all items imported from outside the EU are subject to VAT. I always make sure to set aside about 21% for the Belgian VAT plus any administrative fees the carrier might charge.

Final thoughts on the speed run

My package arrived in just five days, which is a total win for a limited edition drop. Using a parcel forwarding service is honestly the only way I can keep up with these US-exclusive beauty trends without paying insane markup prices to local resellers. If you are eyeing that Iced Matcha balm, I suggest you grab it now before the 'Limited Edition' tag becomes 'Sold Out' forever!
