Scoring the limited edition Rhode Pretzel lip tint from the US while living in the Netherlands

Understanding the Rhode Pretzel obsession in 2026

It has been a wild week for beauty enthusiasts. Since its launch on April 1st, 2026, the Rhode Peptide Lip Tint in 'Pretzel' has already vanished from digital shelves twice. This shimmering warm mauve shade is perfectly timed for the season, offering that 'your lips but better' glow with a sophisticated twist. Because it is a limited edition release, the FOMO is reaching an all-time high, especially here in Europe where availability is non-existent.

Just a moment, securing your connection...

While the brand has expanded significantly over the last few years, the logistics of limited drops still favor the US market. Shoppers in Singapore and the Netherlands are finding themselves in the same boat: watching the stock counts drop while wishing for a direct shipping option. If you are trying to secure this specific shade before it is retired for good, waiting for a local launch is not a viable strategy.

Dealing with the lack of direct shipping to the Netherlands

The main frustration for Dutch fans is that Rhode still does not offer direct shipping to the Netherlands. When you try to check out on the official US site, you will hit a wall at the address entry stage. This is where using a freight forwarder becomes essential. By using a US-based shipping address, you can bypass these regional restrictions and shop like a local.

Basically, you send your 'Pretzel' tint to a warehouse in a tax-free US state (like Oregon), and they handle the transit to your doorstep in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, or anywhere else in the NL. It is a reliable workaround that many in the community have been using to keep their skincare routines up to date in 2026.

Shipping Estimates for your Rhode haul

Before you hit that buy button, it is smart to have an idea of what the journey from the US to the Netherlands will cost. Lip tints are lightweight, which is great for keeping costs down, but you still need to account for the minimum shipping weights used by most carriers.

To get a more precise figure based on the current 2026 carrier prices, you can use a shipping calculator. This helps you decide if you want to buy just one tint or if it makes more sense to bundle a few items to maximize the shipping value.

Ordering from the US using a freight forwarder

If you have never used a package forwarding service before, the process is actually quite simple. You can follow this how it works guide for the full breakdown, but the gist is that you get a unique suite number at a US warehouse. When you shop at Rhode, you enter that address as your shipping destination.

Once the warehouse receives your 'Pretzel' tint, they will notify you. You can then check the international shipping rates to the Netherlands and choose the courier that fits your budget and timeline. Most shipments from the US to Europe arrive within 5 to 8 business days once they leave the warehouse.

Managing Dutch VAT and import rules

When importing goods into the Netherlands from outside the EU in 2026, you need to be aware of the BTW (VAT) and potential customs fees. Since 2021, the EU removed the VAT exemption for small low-value goods. This means you will likely have to pay 21% VAT on your Rhode purchase, plus a handling fee from the local carrier (like PostNL or DHL).

If you have specific questions about how these fees are calculated or if you are worried about your package being held, checking the FAQ section of your forwarder is a great place to start. They often have updated info on customs declarations to ensure your makeup arrives without a hitch. Honestly, even with the extra few Euros in tax, it is a small price to pay for a limited edition shade that is impossible to find anywhere else in Europe.
