While Summer Fridays has a presence in Europe, the Iced Matcha flavor is currently a US-exclusive release. This has left many local fans wondering how to get their hands on the iconic green tube without booking a flight to New York. The demand is driven not just by the scent, but by the high-shine, vegan formula that has made the brand a cult favorite.

Why Buy From the USA?

Purchasing directly from US retailers like Sephora or the official Summer Fridays website often provides the best value. In the US, the balm typically retails for around $24 USD. Even with international shipping, the total cost is frequently lower than what boutique importers in Europe charge for the same product. Furthermore, US stockists receive the limited edition drops first, ensuring you don't miss out before the 2026 supply is exhausted.

To start your shopping journey, you will need a tax-free US address. Using comGateway as your preferred freight forwarder allows you to shop like a US resident, avoiding domestic sales tax by utilizing their Oregon-based warehouse.

Overcoming Checkout Blocks with BuyForMe

A common hurdle for shoppers in the Netherlands is the strict payment policies of major US beauty retailers. Stores like Sephora or the Summer Fridays official site often block international credit cards or automatically decline orders that are being sent to known package forwarding addresses. This can be incredibly frustrating when you are trying to secure a limited edition item before it sells out.

The safest way to handle this is through the comGateway BuyForMe service. This proxy shopping solution involves an expert team purchasing the item on your behalf using a US domestic payment method. By using this assisted purchase option, you bypass the risk of order cancellation, ensuring your Iced Matcha balm is secured and delivered to the warehouse safely.

Shipping Logistics to the Netherlands

Once your package arrives at the US warehouse, you can manage the final leg of the journey. If you are worried about the cost of moving a single small item, consider "OneBox" consolidation. If you purchase other US-exclusive beauty products or apparel, you can combine them into a single shipment to save on international transit fees.

To get a clear idea of the costs involved, you should use the shipping calculator. This tool helps you estimate shipping cost based on the weight and dimensions of your balm. For those new to international shopping, the step-by-step guide provides a clear how it works overview to get you from checkout to delivery.

Import Duties and Customs

When shipping to the Netherlands, it is important to account for local import regulations. As of 2026, all goods imported from outside the EU are subject to VAT (BTW), regardless of the value. For items under €150, you generally only pay the 21% VAT and a small handling fee from the courier. If your total order exceeds €150, additional customs duties may apply.

Keeping these costs in mind ensures there are no surprises when your package arrives at your doorstep in Rotterdam or Utrecht. If you have specific questions about restricted items or shipping times, the FAQ and support section on the help center offers detailed answers for Dutch residents.
