I found a way to get the Stüssy x Our Legacy Mohair Cardigan from the US to Korea

Why the Spring 2026 Mohair Cardigan is trending right now

I watched the Stüssy x Our Legacy Workshop 'Spring 2026' drop last week, and the Mohair Cardigan immediately became the standout piece. This specific collaboration has gained massive traction in the Chinese and Korean streetwear markets due to its unique texture and the heritage of the Our Legacy Workshop. Because these items sell out instantly in local Seoul boutiques, I turned my attention to the US market where stock levels are often slightly better during the initial release phase.

I always check the latest us trends to see which pieces are holding their resale value. For this 2026 collection, the mohair blend is particularly high-quality, making it a high-value item for collectors who prefer verified authenticity from US flagship sites over risky secondary market transactions.

The price difference I noticed between US and Asian boutiques

My research shows that buying directly from US stores is significantly cheaper than waiting for local South Korean distributors to stock the item. Even with the current exchange rates in April 2026, the retail price in the US remains lower than the marked-up prices in Asian boutiques. By choosing to shop us store directly, I avoid the steep premiums often found in the resale market in Seoul.

My process for using a freight forwarder to ship to South Korea

I use comGateway to provide a tax-free us address for my orders. This is essential because Stüssy’s US webstore does not ship directly to South Korea. By using a freight forwarder, I can get my package sent to a warehouse in Oregon first, which saves me from paying US sales tax.

If you are wondering how it works, it is quite simple. I order the cardigan using my assigned US address, and once it arrives at the warehouse, I use the parcel forwarding service to send it to my home in Korea. I usually check the shipping calculator beforehand to estimate shipping cost based on the item's weight.

Shipping estimates for the Stüssy Mohair Cardigan

I have calculated the likely shipping requirements for this specific item to help you plan your budget. Knitwear can be surprisingly heavy depending on the blend and the packaging used by the retailer.

Metric Estimate
Box Weight Approx. 2.0 lbs (0.9 kg)
Box Dimensions Small to Medium (Standard apparel bag or box)

Volumetric Warning: I should note that while the cardigan is light, if the retailer ships it in an oversized box with lots of air, the volumetric weight might increase your international shipping rates. I always recommend requesting repacking to minimize the box size.

Battery Check: This item is a textile product and does not contain lithium batteries. You do not need to worry about the specific shipping rules for electronics or restricted goods.

How I handle US stores that block my Korean credit card

I have encountered a major problem when trying to buy from certain US flagship stores like Stüssy or Nike. Many of these sites block international credit cards or automatically decline orders that are sent to known package forwarding addresses. This can be incredibly frustrating when you are trying to secure a limited drop like the Spring 2026 Mohair Cardigan.

The solution I use is the comGateway "BuyForMe" service. Instead of I placing the order myself, we have the comGateway team buy the item on my behalf using a US domestic credit card. This is the safest way I have found to guarantee that my order doesn't get cancelled. It bypasses the payment filters that usually target international buyers, ensuring the cardigan actually reaches the warehouse.

South Korea import rules for 2026 apparel

When I forward packages to South Korea, I keep the de minimis value in mind. As of 2026, for personal imports from the US, you can generally avoid customs duties if the total value (including shipping to the warehouse) is under $200 USD. However, since this Mohair Cardigan is a high-value collaboration, it may exceed this threshold. I always check the latest shipping fees and tax estimates to ensure I am prepared for any additional VAT upon arrival in Seoul.
