How I bagged the Baggu x Sanrio 50th anniversary prints that Singapore never saw coming

Why the Baggu x Sanrio 50th Anniversary is Trending in 2026

My social media feed has been nothing but Hello Kitty and friends lately, and for a good reason. The Baggu x Sanrio 50th Anniversary collection just dropped, and it is arguably the cutest collaboration I have seen this year. While Sanrio fans in Korea and Japan usually get the best exclusives, this specific anniversary drop features prints that are strictly US-only. As a collector in Singapore, I knew I had to act fast before the resellers marked them up by 300%.

More about shipping to Singapore

I noticed that the designs—especially the metallic reusable totes and the puffed laptop sleeves featuring vintage 1970s Hello Kitty artwork—are not slated for a Southeast Asian release. This scarcity has made them one of the most sought-after us trends of early 2026. I decided that instead of waiting for a local distributor that might never come, I would take matters into my own hands and shop directly from the source.

My Secret Strategy for Buying from the USA

I started by setting up a tax-free us address. This is a crucial step because it allows me to avoid the local US sales tax, which can be as high as 10% depending on the state. By using comGateway, I was able to have my items sent to their warehouse in Oregon first.

When I shop from US stores, I always use a parcel forwarding service to bridge the gap between American retailers and my doorstep in Singapore. The process is simpler than most people think: I buy the item, ship it to my personal US suite, and then let the experts forward packages to me. It is the most reliable way I have found to access collections like Baggu that refuse to ship internationally.

How I Bypassed the dreaded US Credit Card Block

I ran into a bit of a snag when I first tried to check out. Many US retailers, including some of the boutiques carrying the Sanrio 50th line, have a habit of blocking international credit cards. My Singapore-issued card was declined immediately, which is a common frustration when trying to shop us store sites from abroad. They often flag orders that use a foreign billing address or ship to a known forwarder.

My solution was the "BuyForMe" service. Instead of struggling with my own card, I let comGateway handle the purchase on my behalf. We simply tell them what we want to buy, and they use a US-based payment method to secure the order. This is the safest way to guarantee that your order doesn't get cancelled by a finicky merchant system. It saved my Sanrio haul when I thought I was going to miss out on the limited-edition crescent bags.

Shipping Estimates for Your Sanrio Haul

I know we all worry about the cost of international shipping, so I did some math. Based on my recent experience with the Baggu x Sanrio 50th Anniversary Collection, here is what you can expect for your shipping budget. You can also use the shipping calculator to get a more precise figure for your specific order.

What I Learned About Singapore Customs and Taxes

Before you get too carried away with your shopping cart, we need to talk about import duties. In 2026, Singapore continues to apply GST on all imported goods, regardless of value. I always keep an eye on my total spend to ensure I am prepared for the 9% GST that will be collected when the package arrives. Check our guide on GST/VAT for the latest updates on how this is calculated.

I also make sure to check the list of prohibited items before adding extra treats to my box. While nylon bags and accessories are perfectly fine, I have to be careful not to include things like certain perfumes or restricted cosmetics that might be sold on the same sites. Keeping your shipment compliant ensures your international shipping rates remain predictable and your delivery stays on schedule. My Baggu haul arrived in Singapore in just under 5 days, proving that with the right partner, the Pacific Ocean isn't such a big barrier after all.
