I got the 2026 Framework Laptop 13 from the US to the Netherlands using this simple shipping method

Why the 2026 Framework Laptop 13 matters to me

I have been a fan of modular hardware for years, and the 2026 Framework Laptop 13 with the Intel Core Ultra Series 2 chip is exactly what I needed. This specific model offers a massive leap in efficiency and AI performance compared to the older versions. In the Netherlands, getting the latest DIY kits can be a slow process. Often, the US store gets the most interesting configurations and early batches before they ever reach European distributors.

Buy It For Me

Just a moment, securing your connection...

I chose the Intel Core Ultra Series 2 because of the improved thermal management. We all know that thin laptops can get loud, but this chip stays cool even when I am compiling code or editing video. Because I want to keep this laptop for a decade, starting with the best possible motherboard from the US store was my priority.

My experience buying from US stores

When I tried to check out on the official site, I noticed that some of the specific modular expansion cards I wanted were only in stock at the US warehouse. Instead of waiting months for local restocks, I decided to shop US store directly. To do this, I needed a tax-free us address to avoid paying US sales tax on top of my eventual Dutch import costs.

I used comGateway to provide that address. It allowed me to purchase the DIY kit as if I were living in Oregon. This saved me about 8-10% in US sales tax immediately, which I then put toward faster shipping. If you are looking to forward packages from brands that don't prioritize EU releases, this is the most direct path I found.

Shipping estimates and logistics

Before I committed to the purchase, I had to make sure the shipping wouldn't cost more than the laptop itself. I used a shipping calculator to get a rough idea of the weight and size of the Framework box. Here is a breakdown of what I found for the 2026 Framework Laptop 13 package.

Because this item contains a lithium battery, I had to ensure the freight forwarder was equipped to handle "Dangerous Goods" paperwork. Most standard couriers are fine with one laptop battery, but it is always smart to check the shipping rules for restricted goods before you buy. I didn't want my 2026 Intel Core Ultra Series 2 chip stuck in a warehouse because of a battery label error.

How I handled Netherlands customs and VAT

This is the part where most people get nervous, but I found it quite simple. When the laptop enters the Netherlands, you have to pay the 21% BTW (VAT). In my experience, laptops generally have a 0% import duty rate, but you should always verify the current import tax codes for the latest electronics.

I chose to let the parcel forwarding service handle the customs declaration. When the package arrived at the border, the courier contacted me to pay the VAT online. It took me about two minutes. If you want a smooth Netherlands delivery, make sure your invoice is clearly visible on the outside of the box. My freight forwarder handled the repackaging to ensure everything was compliant with Dutch customs requirements.

The easiest way to forward packages

I don't like doing paperwork. The reason I used comGateway is that they do the heavy lifting. Once the laptop arrived at my US address, I just clicked "Ship" in my dashboard. I didn't have to talk to anyone or fill out complicated international waybills. They even combined my extra expansion cards into one box to save on volume.

If you want to buy from US ship to Netherlands, my advice is to skip the third-party resellers on local marketplaces. They often mark up the price of the 2026 Framework models by 30% or more. By using a package forwarding service, I got the exact DIY kit I wanted for the base US price plus the actual shipping and tax costs. It was the most efficient way to get 2026 tech on my desk in Amsterdam without the typical delays.
