Just a moment, securing your connection...

In Berlin and Munich, demand has far outstripped supply, leading to resale prices that often exceed €350. However, by using a tax-free US address from comGateway, German shoppers can access US inventory at the standard retail price. This allows you to bypass the scarcity-driven price hikes common in local boutiques.

Superiority of the Made in USA version

A common misconception among European buyers is that all New Balance releases are created equal. The "Made in USA" 990v7 Core Grey offers a level of craftsmanship and material quality that the Asian-market releases simply do not match. The use of premium pigskin suede and the refined ENCAP midsole construction provides a durability that justifies the import process. Because these high-tier versions are often prioritized for the North American market, using a package forwarding service is the most reliable way to ensure you are getting the authentic, American-made product.

Shipping estimates for the 990v7 Core Grey

To help you understand the total cost of ownership, we have prepared a logistics breakdown for a standard pair of 990v7 sneakers. You can use our shipping calculator for a more precise quote based on your exact location in Germany.

Reviewing the international shipping rates beforehand will help you decide if you want to consolidate multiple pairs to further reduce the cost per item.

Solving the US credit card block with BuyForMe

One of the most frustrating hurdles for German collectors is the payment wall. Major US retailers and even the official New Balance US webstore often block international credit cards or cancel orders that use a known forwarder's address as the billing contact. This can make it feel impossible to secure a limited release like the 990v7.

The solution is our "BuyForMe" assisted purchase service. When a store declines your German payment method, we step in to buy the item on your behalf using a US-based domestic card. This effectively eliminates the risk of your order being flagged or cancelled. It is the safest way to guarantee your spot in the queue for high-demand drops without needing a US bank account.

Navigating German customs and import taxes

Importing goods into Germany in 2026 requires an understanding of the VAT and duty structure. Since the 990v7 usually retails for around $200-$220, the package will exceed the €150 duty-free threshold. You should expect to pay 19% Einfuhrumsatzsteuer (Import VAT) plus a small percentage for footwear duties. Even with these costs included, the total often remains significantly lower than the €350+ price tags found on the German secondary market.
