Just a moment, securing your connection...

Because these are only available through specific American retailers, the resale value has already started to climb on secondary markets. If you want to avoid the massive markups on StockX or GOAT, your best bet is to shop us store sites directly as they drop. This allows you to get them at retail price before they vanish into the hands of resellers.

Picking up US exclusive releases from the Netherlands

Shopping from major US sneaker boutiques like Kith, Bodega, or even the official New Balance US site can be a bit of a headache when you are sitting in Amsterdam or Utrecht. Many of these stores do not offer international shipping, or if they do, the costs are astronomical. This is where a reliable freight forwarder becomes your best friend. By using a US-based intermediary, you can access inventory that never touches European soil.

Using a tax-free US address for your order

One of the biggest perks of using a service like comGateway is getting a tax-free us address in Oregon. When you ship your New Balance 1906R to this address, you do not have to pay the standard US sales tax, which can save you up to 10% on the purchase price right off the bat. This extra wiggle room helps offset the eventual shipping costs to the Netherlands.

Securing your pair when US stores block your credit card

Have you ever tried to buy a limited release only to have your order cancelled immediately? It happens more often than you think. Some major US retailers like Nike, Sephora, or Apple have strict security protocols that often block international credit cards or flag orders sent to known shipping hubs. This is a common frustration for Dutch sneakerheads trying to grab a US-exclusive drop.

The solution is comGateway’s BuyForMe service. If a store declines your Dutch credit card or refuses to ship to a forwarder, the BuyForMe team steps in to purchase the item on your behalf using a domestic US credit card. This effectively removes the barrier between you and the store. It is the safest way to guarantee your order doesn't get cancelled during a high-heat drop like the Polka Dot Pack. You simply tell them what you want, and they handle the transaction, ensuring your pair is secured and ready for transit.

Shipping your New Balance 1906R to the Netherlands

Once your sneakers arrive at your US suite, you have control over how they get to your doorstep. You can choose from various shipping speeds depending on how quickly you want to lace them up. If you are worried about the process, checking out a step-by-step guide can help you visualize how your package moves from the US warehouse to your home in the Netherlands.

Calculating your total costs before you buy

Before you commit to the purchase, it is smart to know exactly what you are paying. You can use the shipping calculator to get an estimate of the delivery fees. This tool takes the dimensions and weight of a standard New Balance shoe box into account, so there are no surprises when the final bill arrives. It is a much better approach than guessing and hoping for the best.

Understanding Netherlands import rules for sneakerheads

When importing goods into the Netherlands in 2026, you need to be aware of the local customs regulations. Any package entering from outside the EU is subject to BTW (Value Added Tax) and potentially import duties if the value exceeds 150 EUR. For a premium release like the 1906R Polka Dot Pack, you should expect to pay the 21% BTW upon arrival. Most couriers will also charge a small handling fee for processing the customs clearance. Keeping these details in mind ensures you have the budget ready when PostNL or DHL sends you that payment notification.
