What I learned about shipping the 2026 Nécessaire Body Lotion from the USA to the Netherlands
My thoughts on the 2026 peptide formula
I finally got my hands on the 2026 Nécessaire The Body Lotion (New 2026 Fragrance-Free Formula), and I have to say, the shift toward 'body-care as skincare' is more than just a marketing phrase. I noticed that this year’s update focuses heavily on a multi-peptide complex that mimics the high-end serums I usually reserve for my face. The texture is incredibly refined, absorbing almost instantly without that sticky residue we all hate. The minimalist aesthetic looks great on my shelf, but it is the Korean-inspired focus on the skin barrier that really won me over. I feel like my skin stays hydrated much longer than it did with the older 2025 versions.
Why I chose to shop from US stores
While some boutiques in Europe carry the brand, I found that the 2026 fragrance-free formula was available in the US much earlier. I also realized that buying directly from US retailers often gives me access to better bundles and the full range of their new releases. I wanted to make sure I was getting the fresh 2026 batch, so I decided to **shop us store** sites directly. I also found that even with shipping, sometimes the price per ounce is more competitive when you catch a US sale.
My experience using a freight forwarder
Because many US stores do not ship beauty products directly to the Netherlands, I relied on **comGateway** to bridge the gap. I’ve used them as my **freight forwarder** for a while now, mainly because they provide a **tax-free us address** in Oregon, which helps me save on US sales tax. I simply had my Nécessaire order sent to that address, and they handled the rest. If you are new to this, you might also like our guide on how to manage multiple packages at once. I always make sure to check their **FAQ** for any quick **support** if I have questions about how long my package can sit in their warehouse.
I also found that if a specific US store doesn't accept my Dutch credit card, I can use their **BuyForMe service** for **proxy shopping**. It makes the **assisted purchase** process much smoother when dealing with picky retailers. Before I committed to the purchase, I used their **shipping calculator** to **estimate shipping cost** so I wouldn't have any surprises when the bill arrived.
Shipping Estimates for the Netherlands
I wanted to share the specific logistics data I gathered for this item to help you plan your own delivery. Since this is a liquid-based skincare product, the weight is the primary factor for the shipping price.
| Metric | Estimated Value |
|---|---|
| Box Weight | Approx. 0.5 kg (1.1 lbs) per bottle |
| Box Dimensions | Small (Approx. 18cm x 8cm x 8cm) |
| Volumetric Warning | Low risk. This item is dense and small, so volumetric weight usually won't exceed actual weight. |
| Battery Check | No lithium batteries contained. No special electronics handling required. |
I always suggest checking the latest **prohibited items** list on the **help center** to see if there are any new **restricted goods** or **shipping rules** for liquids. In 2026, most standard lotions are perfectly fine, but it is better to be safe.
What I noticed about Dutch customs and import rules
Shipping to the Netherlands means we have to deal with PostNL or DHL and the inevitable VAT (BTW) payments. Since 2021, the de minimis value for VAT is gone, so I expect to pay the 21% BTW on almost everything I bring in from outside the EU. I found that if I consolidate my Nécessaire lotion with a few other items, the handling fee from the local carrier feels much more reasonable. I recommend keeping your invoices ready in case customs asks for verification of the contents. My package usually clears the Amsterdam hub within 2 to 3 days before arriving at my door.
