More about shipping to India

The 1906R provides that perfect blend of Y2K nostalgia and modern comfort. However, the scarcity in the Indian market often leads to local resellers charging nearly double the retail price. Why pay a middleman when you can take control of the transaction yourself?

Metallic silver or neutral tan: Which 2026 drop is actually worth your time?

The 2026 lineup of US exclusives features the highly anticipated "Cobalt Silver" and the "Desert Salt" iterations. These colorways are specifically designed for the North American market, making them a rare sight on the streets of Bangalore. If you are wondering if the quality justifies the import, the answer is in the materials—premium nubuck and high-performance Acteva Lite cushioning that simply lasts longer than budget alternatives.

The secret to shopping US stores from your couch in India

Buying directly from a shop us store like New Balance US or Kith often requires a local presence. Many of these retailers do not ship directly to international addresses, or if they do, the costs are astronomical. This is where using a parcel forwarding service becomes a game-changer for your budget. By using a tax-free us address, you can avoid US sales tax and consolidate your purchases before sending them to India.

If you are new to this process, there is a simple step-by-step guide available to walk you through the setup. It is essentially like having a virtual mailbox in Oregon that handles your packages with care.

Shipping Estimates: Weight, size, and the math of delivery

To ensure you aren't surprised by the final bill, it is vital to understand the logistics of a sneaker shipment. Here is a breakdown of what to expect when shipping a pair of New Balance 1906R sneakers from the US to India:

Before you hit the checkout button, use the shipping calculator to get a precise quote based on current 2026 fuel surcharges. This allows you to see exactly how much you are saving compared to Indian retail markups.

Why a freight forwarder is your best friend in 2026

Using a freight forwarder like comGateway provides several layers of protection. First, you get access to "OneBuy" services if the US store refuses your Indian credit card. Second, you can opt for extra padding to ensure the original New Balance box arrives in pristine condition—a must for collectors.

Indian Customs: Don't let your new kicks get stuck in paperwork

When you buy from US ship to India, you must be prepared for the Basic Customs Duty (BCD) and IGST. In 2026, footwear imports typically attract a duty that can be calculated based on the transaction value. Always ensure your KYC documents are updated with your package forwarding provider to avoid delays at the port of entry. If you have questions about prohibited items or specific documentation, the FAQ section covers most of the common hurdles faced by Indian shoppers.

By bypassing the local hype-market, you aren't just getting a better price; you are getting the peace of mind that your 1906R US exclusives are 100% authentic, sourced directly from the authorized retailers. Ready to step up your sneaker game without the unnecessary surcharge?
