Why Spanish photographers are looking at US retail stock

In Spain, finding an X100VI at the official retail price of approximately €1,800 is often a exercise in frustration. Most local shops are backordered for months, and the second-hand market is flooded with inflated prices. However, major electronics retailers in the United States often receive larger and more frequent restocks. By using a comGateway account, Spanish residents can access US-only inventory at the standard $1,599 - $1,799 price point. This allows you to skip the local waiting lists and secure a unit from reputable stores like B&H, Adorama, or Amazon US.

The process of using a US forwarder

The myth that buying from America is a logistical nightmare is simply not true in 2026. When you shop us store websites, you simply use your tax-free us address provided by your forwarder at checkout. This allows you to avoid US sales tax, which can be as high as 10% depending on the state. Once the camera arrives at the warehouse, you can choose your preferred delivery speed to ship to Spain. Most express shipments reach major Spanish cities like Barcelona, Madrid, or Valencia within 3 to 5 business days.

Import duties and VAT for Spain

When the camera enters Spain, it will be subject to the standard 21% VAT (IVA). While some assume this makes the purchase too expensive, the reality is that the combined cost of the US MSRP, shipping, and import tax is still significantly lower than the €2,500+ prices demanded by European scalpers.

By handling the international shipping yourself through a trusted partner, you maintain control over the total cost and ensure your high-value electronics are handled with care.
