The Framework Laptop 13, specifically the DIY Kit featuring the Intel Core Ultra Series 2, has become the gold standard for those who refuse to accept planned obsolescence.

The Intel Core Ultra Series 2 chips offer unprecedented efficiency for compile-heavy tasks, making this laptop a powerhouse for software engineers. However, the specific configurations—especially the highly coveted US-English keyboard layout—often see delayed releases or significant price hikes when they finally reach the European market.

Why Belgian developers prefer the US DIY Kit

For a developer in Antwerp or Brussels, the keyboard is the primary tool of the trade. Local Belgian retailers often stock AZERTY layouts by default. While localized layouts are great for some, many coders prefer the standard US-English ANSI layout for its better placement of brackets and slashes. By choosing to shop US store options directly, you ensure you get the exact hardware configuration you need without settling for what is simply available on a local shelf.

Crunching the costs: A €310 price difference

Let’s talk numbers. As of April 2026, the Framework Laptop 13 DIY Kit with the high-end Intel Core Ultra Series 2 configuration retails for approximately $1,299 USD in the United States. In contrast, by the time these units are imported and listed by European resellers, the price often jumps to €1,550 or higher due to "regional adjustments." When you factor in the current exchange rate and use a shipping calculator, you can often save upwards of €310, even after accounting for the journey across the Atlantic.

Getting your kit to Brussels: The role of a freight forwarder

Since Framework’s US store primarily ships within North America, getting your hands on this 2026 hardware requires a reliable freight forwarder. This service provides you with a tax-free US address, which serves as your personal hub for American purchases. Once your DIY kit arrives at the warehouse, it is inspected and prepared for its journey to Belgium.

Using a package forwarding service like comGateway allows you to consolidate multiple orders if you are also eyeing expansion cards or extra RAM modules. This method is significantly more cost-effective than trying to find a single vendor who offers direct international shipping to Europe.

When US stores decline your card: The BuyForMe solution

One of the most frustrating hurdles for Belgian shoppers is the dreaded "order cancelled" notification. Many premier US tech stores and major brands like Apple, Nike, or Sephora frequently block orders that use international credit cards or are addressed to known forwarding hubs. They often require a US-based billing address and a domestic payment method.

This is where the "BuyForMe" service becomes essential. If you find that the store refuses your Belgian Visa or Mastercard, comGateway’s proxy shopping experts can step in. We buy the item on your behalf using a US domestic card, ensuring the transaction is approved. This is the safest way to guarantee your Framework DIY kit doesn't get stuck in a loop of cancellations. By using our domestic payment infrastructure, you bypass the regional restrictions that often keep the best tech out of reach.

Navigating Belgian import tax and VAT

When you use an international shipping service, it is important to understand the local customs regulations. In Belgium, electronics are generally subject to a 21% VAT (Value Added Tax). While the import tax (customs duty) on laptops is often 0%, the VAT is calculated based on the value of the goods plus the international shipping rates.

Even with these additional costs, the "Price Gap" remains significant. Buying the Framework 13 in the US and paying the Belgian VAT at the border is almost always cheaper than paying the inflated retail prices found within the Eurozone. To get a clear picture of the final landing cost, you should always check the latest international shipping estimates before checking out.

A step-by-step guide to international shipping

If you are ready to build your dream machine, here is a how it works breakdown of the process:

• Step 1: Register for a free account to receive your US shipping address.
• Step 2: Shop at the Framework US store. If they reject your card, use the BuyForMe service.
• Step 3: Once your DIY kit reaches the warehouse, choose your preferred carrier. We recommend DHL international shipping for its speed or FedEx international shipping for its reliable tracking updates.
• Step 4: Pay your shipping fees and wait for the package to clear Belgian customs.

By taking control of the supply chain yourself, you gain access to the latest 2026 hardware months before your peers, all while saving a substantial amount of money. The modular future is here, and it doesn't have to be limited by your geographic location.
