Why I used a freight forwarder to ship the Merit 2026 Summer Glow Set to China

Why the Merit 2026 Summer Glow Set is trending

I noticed the Merit Beauty 'The Great Skin' Summer Glow Set (2026 Edition) taking over my social feed recently. The hype is real because this year's bundle includes the new 'Bronze Balm' shades that are currently exclusive to the US market. For those of us in China chasing the 'clean girl' aesthetic, these specific shades are essential for that effortless summer look. Since Merit doesn't have a direct retail presence here yet, we have to look toward the US to get the authentic 2026 limited edition.

I keep a close eye on us trends to identify which products are worth the international effort. This set is at the top of my list because the value of the bundle outweighs the individual costs, even when you factor in the logistics of getting it to China.

How I shop US stores from China

Merit’s US website often restricts direct international shipping or charges exorbitant fees. To solve this, I use a freight forwarder. This service provides me with a tax-free us address in Oregon. When I check out on the Merit site, I simply enter my comGateway address as the delivery destination. This allows me to shop us store sites just like a local resident would.

If you find that your payment method is being declined, you can also look into proxy shopping services. These services, often called "Buy For Me," help purchase the items on your behalf if the retailer doesn't accept non-US credit cards. Once the package arrives at the warehouse, I can manage everything from my dashboard.

Shipping Estimates for the Summer Glow Set

Before I buy, I always use the shipping calculator to prepare my budget. Here is my estimate for the Merit 'The Great Skin' Summer Glow Set (2026 Edition):

Because this set is relatively light, the international shipping service cost is mainly determined by the actual weight rather than the size. However, if you add larger items like a plush makeup bag or a vanity mirror to your order, be aware that volumetric weight could increase your costs significantly.

Managing import tax and customs

Shipping cosmetics into China requires a clear understanding of import tax. I've found that keeping my total order value within certain limits helps avoid the more complex commercial customs clearances. For personal use, I usually keep my beauty hauls under the 1,000 RMB threshold per package to qualify for simplified customs procedures.

We recommend choosing a carrier like DHL international shipping or FedEx international shipping through your forwarder for better tracking. These carriers are efficient, but they do strictly report values to customs, so ensure your declarations are accurate to avoid delays. Using a professional service ensures the necessary paperwork is handled correctly for Chinese customs officials.

Shipping rules for cosmetics

Before you ship, you must verify the latest prohibited items list. While most of the Merit Summer Glow set (like the balms and serums) is safe to ship, some restricted goods such as high-alcohol content perfumes or pressurized aerosol sprays face stricter shipping rules.

The Merit 2026 set consists of a serum and a solid balm, which are generally categorized as non-hazardous. However, always confirm with your provider if they have specific limits on the volume of liquids allowed in a single shipment to China. I've found that keeping my beauty orders limited to three to five items per box is the safest way to ensure a smooth delivery process. My experience shows that clear labeling and using a reliable international shipping provider makes all the difference in getting that summer glow without the headache.
