However, if you have checked local specialized retailers lately, you have probably noticed the price tag is significantly higher than what you see on US sites like B&H or Adorama. Even with global supply chains stabilizing in 2026, the European markup is still a major hurdle for creators trying to stay on budget.

The math behind saving €550 on your cinema rig

Let's look at the numbers. In the US, the Pyxis 6K typically retails for around $2,995. In the Netherlands, after local tax adjustments and retail margins, you are often looking at a price closer to €3,400 or more. When you use a freight forwarder to shop from a tax-free us address, you can often land the camera at your door for much less.

Even after factoring in international shipping and the relevant import tax, the savings often sit right around the €550 mark. That is enough extra cash to buy a solid set of V-mount batteries or a high-speed CFexpress card. To get a precise idea of the cost, you should check the shipping calculator to see how the weight of the box impacts your total.

Getting your Pyxis 6K to the Netherlands as fast as possible

If you are in a hurry for a shoot, you don't want your gear sitting in a warehouse. The fastest path is to shop us store sites that have the unit in stock and ship it to a specialized package forwarding hub. From there, choosing DHL international shipping or FedEx international shipping usually gets the package to your doorstep in the Netherlands within 3 to 5 business days.

Using a parcel forwarding service allows you to consolidate other accessories you might need—like cages or monitors—into one box, which helps lower the overall international shipping rates compared to shipping everything separately. You can find more details on how this works in the FAQ section.

What to do when US stores block your Dutch credit card

One of the most frustrating parts of trying to buy high-end electronics from the US is the "payment declined" screen. Many major US retailers like B&H, or even brand-specific stores like Apple and Nike, often block international credit cards or refuse to ship to known forwarding addresses. This is where proxy shopping becomes a lifesaver.

If you run into this problem, comGateway’s "BuyForMe" service is the safest solution. Basically, you tell them what you want, and they buy the item on your behalf using a US domestic credit card. This bypasses the regional blocks that usually stop Dutch buyers. It is the most reliable way to guarantee your order doesn't get cancelled at the last minute, ensuring your ship to Netherlands plans stay on track.

Managing import tax and shipping fees

When you buy from US ship to Netherlands, you need to be aware of the Dutch customs process. You will be responsible for the 21% VAT and potentially minor customs duties. However, because you are saving so much on the base price by shopping in the US, the total cost usually remains much lower than buying locally.

Before you commit, review the latest international shipping rates to ensure there are no surprises. Most professional videographers find that even with these added costs, the "US-to-NL" route is the most cost-effective way to upgrade their gear in 2026. If you have more questions about the process, the support center has plenty of resources for European shoppers.
