Why I am skipping the Belgian tech shops and importing my Oura Ring Gen 4 from the US

My obsession with the Oura Ring Gen 4

As we move through March 2026, I have noticed that the buzz around the Oura Ring Gen 4 has reached a fever pitch. While the tech community in places like India is struggling with limited official availability, we in Belgium are facing our own set of challenges—mostly retail markups and delayed launch dates. I have been following the [us trends](https://www.comgateway.com/trends/) closely, and it is clear that the US remains the best place to source the latest health trackers because of their immediate stock and superior sizing kit availability.

I decided to upgrade because the Gen 4 offers sensor accuracy that my old Gen 3 just can't match. We are talking about refined sleep staging and metabolic tracking that feels years ahead.

How I shop US stores from Belgium

When I first tried to buy from the US Oura store, I realized they don't always make it easy for international credit cards or direct shipping to Brussels. That is why I started using a [tax-free us address](https://www.comgateway.com) provided by a reliable [freight forwarder](https://www.comgateway.com). By shipping my ring to Oregon first, I save on US sales tax, which makes a huge difference in the total price.

If you find that your payment method is getting rejected at checkout, I recommend using the [BuyForMe service](https://www.comgateway.com/faq/category/buy-for-me/). This [proxy shopping](https://www.comgateway.com/faq/category/buy-for-me/) feature allowed me to have an expert handle the [assisted purchase](https://www.comgateway.com/faq/category/buy-for-me/) so I didn't have to worry about my Belgian billing address causing issues. Check our guide on Local Belgian markups vs. US direct shipping: Why the Oura Ring Gen 4 is actually cheaper to import to see the cost comparison I did.

Shipping Estimates for your Oura Ring

Before you hit the buy button, you need to know what to expect when the package hits the warehouse. I used a [shipping calculator](https://www.comgateway.com/calculator/) to [estimate shipping cost](https://www.comgateway.com/calculator/) before I committed. Here is what my Oura Ring Gen 4 package looked like:

I always make sure to double-check the [prohibited items](https://www.comgateway.com/blogs/category/prohibited-items/) list to ensure that any [restricted goods](https://www.comgateway.com/blogs/category/prohibited-items/) aren't accidentally bundled with my ring. Following the [shipping rules](https://www.comgateway.com/blogs/category/prohibited-items/) correctly ensures my package doesn't get stuck in customs.

Managing Belgian customs and logistics

Importing to Belgium involves VAT, but even with those costs, the US direct route often comes out ahead. I found that using [comGateway](https://www.comgateway.com) allowed me to consolidate my packages if I was buying extra accessories. We should also consider the speed; my last shipment arrived in Antwerp faster than some local orders I've placed in the past.

My final verdict on the US import route

I am convinced that for high-end wearables like the Oura Ring Gen 4, the US market is the place to be. We get access to the full range of colors and sizes immediately. If you are on the fence, just use an [estimate shipping cost](https://www.comgateway.com/calculator/) tool to see if the numbers work for you. For me, the peace of mind of having the latest tech on my finger right now is worth every cent.
