Why the Rabbit R2 is trending in 2026
The Rabbit R2 AI device is the current standout in portable artificial intelligence hardware. Following the momentum of its predecessor, the R2 introduces a more robust Large Action Model (LAM) that manages complex digital tasks without a smartphone. Tech enthusiasts in Singapore are currently looking to the US market because the device lacks a direct local release. The demand is driven by the updated camera array and the tactile scroll wheel that improves upon the original design.
Buying from US storefronts
Most buyers secure the device through the official Rabbit website or authorized US tech retailers. Since these stores typically only ship within the United States, you need a tax-free US address to complete the transaction. Using a freight forwarder like comGateway allows you to bridge this gap. This approach ensures you can shop US store options that would otherwise be unavailable to international credit cards or shipping addresses.
Shipping logistics and box estimates
Before you place an order, it is helpful to estimate shipping cost to avoid surprises. The Rabbit R2 is a compact device, but packaging adds weight and volume. Below are the projected logistics details for a single unit:
| Metric | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Box Weight | Approx. 0.9 lbs (0.4 kg) |
| Box Dimensions | 6 x 6 x 3 inches (Small parcel) |
| Volumetric Risk | Low |
While the item is small, always check the shipping calculator for the most accurate pricing. A volumetric warning is generally not applicable here because the device is dense and the packaging is tight. However, if you bundle the R2 with larger accessories like carrying cases or oversized charging docks, the volumetric weight might exceed the actual weight.
Battery and safety regulations
The Rabbit R2 contains a built-in lithium-ion battery. This classifies the shipment under specific international air transport regulations. Most carriers allow devices with integrated batteries, but they must be declared correctly. You can find more details on how these items are handled in the FAQ section of our support site. Ensuring your package is labeled correctly prevents delays at the export hub.
Singapore import duties and GST
Singapore delivery involves local tax considerations. As of 2026, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) applies to all imported goods. When you buy from US ship to Singapore, be prepared to pay the prevailing GST rate on the total value of the item, including insurance and freight costs. For items valued above certain thresholds, customs might require additional documentation, though a single AI device usually clears easily through standard channels.
Using the comGateway process
The most efficient way to manage your purchase is to follow a step-by-step guide provided by your forwarder. This how it works page details the transition from the US warehouse to your doorstep in Singapore. Once the device arrives at the US warehouse, you can opt for additional packing protection or combine it with other purchases to reduce the total shipping overhead. This method is the standard for Singapore delivery of high-demand US electronics in 2026.
