What I learned while importing the Touchland Glow Mist US exclusive to the Netherlands

March 12, 2026

I recently added the Touchland Power Mist Hydrating Hand Sanitizer (Glow Mist) to my daily carry. In 2026, this product has solidified its place as the definitive 'clean girl' accessory. The specific reason I went through the effort of importing it is the new Glow Mist formula. It features Rejuvenating Reishi, which is currently a US-exclusive release. I found that it does more than just sanitize; it leaves a subtle shimmer and high-end scent that my local options in the Netherlands simply do not match.

While looking for the latest us trends, I noticed this specific mist was selling out quickly on Sephora and the official Touchland site. Since the brand has limited distribution for its newest innovations in Europe, I decided to handle the purchase through a US address.

My experience shopping at US-only stores

I attempted to buy directly from US retailers, but many do not ship to my address in the Netherlands. To solve this, I used comGateway to get a US-based shipping address. This allowed me to shop like a local and access the full range of Glow Mist scents that are not available here. For one of my orders, the retailer flagged my non-US credit card. I solved this by using the BuyForMe service, where they handled the purchase on my behalf. It was a straightforward way to bypass regional payment restrictions.

Essential shipping estimates for your package

I calculated my potential costs before placing the order. If you are planning to bring these into the Netherlands, here are the estimates I used for my logistics planning:

Factor Details
Box Weight Approx. 0.5 kg (1.1 lbs) for a 3-pack or 5-pack of mists.
Box Dimensions Small. A typical shipment fits in a box roughly 15x10x10 cm.
Volumetric Warning The Glow Mist is compact and dense. I did not face volumetric weight issues. However, if you add large, light items like skincare sponges or oversized packaging, your shipping calculator results might increase based on volume.
Battery Check The Touchland Glow Mist contains no lithium batteries. I did not have to worry about dangerous goods surcharges or special airline restrictions for electronics.

Managing Netherlands import duties and customs tax

When my package arrived at the Dutch border, I had to account for local regulations. I always suggest checking the latest on import duties before you ship. For the Netherlands, you should expect to pay 21% VAT on the total value (product cost plus shipping). Since my order was relatively small, I avoided heavy customs tax, which usually applies to orders over €150. I made sure to include the invoice in my shipment to ensure the processing at Schiphol was fast and accurate.

A step-by-step guide to the forwarding process

I followed a specific workflow to ensure my Glow Mist arrived safely. First, I signed up for a tax-free us address. This is a major advantage because it meant I didn't pay US sales tax on my Sephora order. After my items arrived at the warehouse, I reviewed them and selected my preferred shipping speed. I needed a reliable international shipping service that provided tracking, as I wanted to monitor the Glow Mist's journey across the Atlantic.

My package arrived in the Netherlands in about six business days. For those curious about the exact logistics, the how it works section on the forwarder's site explains the consolidation and shipping process clearly. I found that consolidating multiple beauty items into one box saved me about 20% on the total cost compared to shipping them individually.
