Finding the Jellycat Sun-Dried Tomato in Italy vs getting it from the US

Why the Sun-Dried Tomato is 2026's most wanted plush

Collectors in the Jellycat community are currently obsessed with the 2026 Amuseable collection. The standout star is definitely the Sun-Dried Tomato. It features that signature grumpy but cute face, deep red textured fabric, and little green leafy bits that make it look exactly like a pantry staple from a Tuscan kitchen. While it sounds like it should be everywhere in Europe, this specific item is part of a "US First" release strategy. This means collectors in Malaysia and Italy are finding it much harder to source locally compared to those in the States.

Just a moment, securing your connection...

The demand for this plush is driven by its unique texture vs the standard soft plush of other Amuseables. If you want to stay ahead of the us trends and secure popular products before they sell out, looking toward the American market is your best bet.

US availability vs Italy local stock

Waiting for an Italian boutique to stock this item vs ordering it directly from a shop us store is a common dilemma for fans in Rome or Milan. Current stock reports show that US retailers have priority access to the 2026 line. By the time these tomatoes reach European shores, the second-hand market prices will likely have doubled.

Using comGateway as your freight forwarder allows you to bypass local shortages. You can effectively shop us store sites as if you were living in the US. This service provides you with a tax-free us address, which helps reduce the initial purchase price before the item even begins its journey to Europe.

Where to find the Sun-Dried Tomato in the US

Shopping at Nordstrom vs shopping at the official Jellycat US site can result in different shipping speeds. Both are excellent options for finding the Amuseable Sun-Dried Tomato. You should also keep an eye on specialty toy boutiques in the US that often carry top us deals on the latest releases. Once you have found your item, you can use an international shipping service to bring it home. For those who want to shop us ship international, having a dedicated US hub is the most efficient way to manage multiple orders from different retailers.

Shipping estimates for your tomato plush

Before you hit the buy button, it is helpful to understand the logistics of moving a plush toy across the Atlantic. Use the shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost for your specific city in Italy.

Comparing international shipping rates is vital. Sometimes express shipping vs economy shipping only differs by a few Euros, so checking the latest shipping fees on the comGateway platform is a smart move.

Import duties vs shipping savings in Italy

When you ship to Italy, you must account for the local GST/VAT and potential import tax. Italy typically applies VAT to most items coming from outside the EU. However, the price of the Jellycat in the US vs the price in Europe often makes the US purchase cheaper even after import duties are calculated. Check our guide on customs tax to see how these fees are applied to toys.

Understanding import tax vs total landed cost helps you budget better. You can find more details on the comGateway blog under the import duties category to see how Italy delivery is handled by customs officials.

Using a freight forwarder vs standard shipping

Standard retail shipping vs using a freight forwarder is the final choice you need to make. Many US stores do not offer direct Italy delivery, or if they do, the international shipping costs are astronomical. By using a freight forwarder, you gain more control over your package. You can choose to buy from US ship to Italy using various couriers, allowing you to prioritize either speed or cost.

If you are looking to build a larger collection, you can hold your items at your US address and consolidate them. Consolidating three plushies vs shipping them individually can save you a significant amount on international shipping rates. Once you are ready, your 2026 Sun-Dried Tomato will be on its way to your doorstep in Italy, ready to join your Amuseable family.
