If the Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard is not available in your country, these are some alternatives.
In our review of the Microsoft/Incase Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard, we gave it a full 5-star rating. That said, you may be in a situation where the Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard is simply not available in your country, either from Incase, or via third party resellers. Importing it may not be financially viable either whether it's due to high shipping costs, import taxes, or that they simply won't ship to a country.
In this case, there are alternatives. With the exception of the Keychron K15 Max, we haven't used nor reviewed these, so we recommend doing additional research to see if these alternatives are right for you.

Keychron K15 Max
The Keychron K15 Max is a low profile, mechanical keyboard with an Alice layout. It doesn’t have a separate number pad included, but it is more readily available globally, whether directly from Keychron or Aliexpress. It's a good, well designed keyboard, is comfortable to use, and the typing experience is identical to the Keychron K11 Max, which we review here: Keychron K11 Pro/Max Review.
HP 960 Ergonomic Wireless Keyboard
The HP 960 Ergonomic Wireless Keyboard (USD 119) offers a similar split layout with an included, separate number pad, uses AA batteries, and scissor switches. It also has negative tenting built in, and offers wireless connectivity via either Bluetooth, or the included HP unifying USB dongle. Given HP is a global company, it's more likely that you'll be able to source this directly from HP in your country, or through its resellers.
Lenovo Go Wireless Split Keyboard
The Lenovo Go Wireless Split Keyboard (USD 99), has a unique cork palm rest, which given its orange-brown colour is quite striking. It also offers scissor switches, uses AA batteries, and connects via a USB A dongle. It does not have a separate number pad, nor does it have Bluetooth. Like HP, Lenovo maintains a global presence increasing the chances you'll be able to find this keyboard in most countries.
Logitech ERGO K860 Wireless Split Keyboard
Logitech also manufactures a split ergonomic keyboard in the form of the Logitech ERGO K860 Wireless Split keyboard (USD 140), but this model comes with an integrated number pad, which some may like, but we don't, given it causes mouse placement to be offset too far to the right.
Homages to the Sculpt
We haven't reviewed these, but companies have developed homages to the Microsoft/Incase Sculpt. These try to copy, and in some cases, improve on the Sculpt. Although they look promising, it may be difficult to get a hold of these keyboards given the companies seem to lack a global sales and logistics footprint. It may end up being easier to get a hold of the Sculpt keyboard. If I had to choose between the original Sculpt and these homages, I would still buy the Sculpt.
The Matias Sculpted Ergonomic Keyboard retains most of the design elements from the Microsoft Sculpt. In a way, it is an upgrade as it offers the ability to use the keyboard in wired mode, providing a choice of USB A and C wireless receiver dongles, and a built-in battery. It costs USD 79 for the wired version, or USD 119 for the wireless version.
Another homage is the Kinesis mWave Mechanical Keyboard. It too inherits the overall shape of the Sculpt, but uses Gateron Low Profile mechanical switches, instead of scissor switches as in the original Sculpt, offering significantly more key travel as a result. It uses two AA batteries for power, and offers Bluetooth connectivity. Users can also use it when wired, and in that configuration it also offers backlighting. They also offer Mac keycaps to switch out for an additional cost (USD 25). Kinesis sells the mWave for USD 120.
