US Retail vs Netherlands Retail: A price check

Looking at the cost, the 990v7 (Core Grey/Silver) retails for about $210 USD in the United States. In the Netherlands, if you can even find them in stock at local boutiques, the price often jumps significantly due to limited supply and high demand. On the resale market, Dutch buyers might see prices upwards of €320. Even when you factor in the cost to shop us ship international, the price gap makes importing a very attractive option for those who want to avoid the resale markup.

Shipping Estimates for your sneakers

Before you place your order, it is helpful to estimate shipping cost to see your total landed price. Based on the 990v7 'Made in USA' specs, here is what you should expect for your package:

• Box Weight: Approx. 3 lbs (1.4 kg) including the outer shipping carton.
• Box Dimensions: Typical shoebox dimensions are roughly 14 x 10 x 6 inches. This is considered a medium-sized box.
• Volumetric Warning: Sneakers are generally safe from volumetric weight surcharges unless the retailer uses an unnecessarily large outer box. If the box is oversized, our repackaging service can help.
• Battery Check: This item does not contain lithium batteries, so it is not subject to dangerous goods shipping restrictions.

Using BuyForMe to avoid order cancellations

A common hurdle when trying to buy from US stores is that many major retailers—including the New Balance US site, Nike, or Sephora—frequently block international credit cards. Even if your card is valid, these stores often decline orders sent to a known freight forwarder address if the billing address is outside the US.

The solution for this is the comGateway BuyForMe service. With this service, we use a US domestic credit card to purchase the item on your behalf. This is the safest way to guarantee your order doesn't get cancelled by picky retailers. Instead of dealing with payment errors, you simply tell us what you want, and we handle the transaction, ensuring your 990v7 is secured and sent to your tax-free us address.

Importing to the Netherlands: VAT and duties

When your shoes arrive in the Netherlands, they will be subject to local customs regulations. Since the 990v7 is priced over €150, you should prepare for both import tax (customs duties) and the standard 21% BTW (VAT). While these costs are unavoidable when importing from outside the EU, the total price often remains lower than paying the inflated resale prices currently found in European markets. You can find more details on how these fees are calculated in our FAQ section.

How to get your pair step-by-step

If you are ready to secure the Core Grey/Silver 990v7, here is how it works for a smooth delivery to the Netherlands:

1. Sign up for a comGateway account to get your own US shipping address.
2. Go to the US New Balance store or a major US sneaker retailer.
3. If the store accepts your Dutch card, ship it to your comGateway address. If not, use our BuyForMe service.
4. Once your shoes arrive at our warehouse, we will notify you.
5. Choose your preferred international shipping service and have them delivered to your door in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, or anywhere else in the Netherlands.

By using a US-based forwarder, you get access to the 'Made in USA' quality that the European market often misses out on. If you have more questions about the process, our support team is always ready to help.
