Spanish import tax is the main hurdle for Oura Ring Gen 4 buyers

The Oura Ring Gen 4 US release

As of April 2026, the Oura Ring Gen 4 has set a new standard for wearable health technology. The latest iteration features a significantly slimmer interior profile, removing the three sensors bumps found in previous generations for a fully smooth inner surface. Combined with a battery life that now extends up to 10 days, it is the most sought-after smart ring on the market. While the US release happened this month, the European rollout remains inconsistent, leading many users in Spain to look toward the American market to secure their device early.

Just a moment, securing your connection...

Ordering from US stores to Spain

Purchasing directly from the US often provides access to stock that has not yet reached Madrid or Barcelona. To do this, you need a tax-free US address. By using a freight forwarder like comGateway, you can shop at US retailers that do not offer direct international shipping to Spain. This method allows you to consolidate packages and potentially save on the total landed cost of your tech upgrades.

If you are new to this process, follow this step-by-step guide to understand how it works. Essentially, you shop US store websites, send the item to your provided warehouse address, and then authorize the final delivery to your Spanish residence.

Shipping Estimates and Logistics

Understanding the physical footprint of your order is essential before you estimate shipping cost using the online shipping calculator. The Oura Ring Gen 4 comes in a compact retail box, but logistics providers use outer shipping cartons to ensure safety.

For those worried about the transit time, DHL international shipping and FedEx international shipping are the most reliable options for high-value electronics going to Spain, typically arriving within 3 to 5 business days after leaving the US warehouse.

Lithium Battery Shipping Rules

The Oura Ring Gen 4 contains a small lithium-ion battery. Under international aviation regulations, this falls under the category of "Lithium ion batteries contained in equipment" (UN3481). Most major carriers allow this, but there are specific labeling requirements. Your freight forwarder will handle the necessary compliance paperwork to ensure the package meets safety standards for air travel. You can find more specific details in the FAQ or help center.

Using Proxy Shopping for Restricted Stores

A common issue for Spanish shoppers is that certain US retailers—including major tech outlets and brands like Apple or Nike—often block orders placed with international credit cards or those using known forwarding addresses. If you find your order is repeatedly cancelled, the BuyForMe service is the solution.

Through proxy shopping, also known as an assisted purchase, comGateway uses a US-based payment method to buy the Oura Ring on your behalf. This bypasses the regional payment blocks and ensures your order is processed successfully. This is the safest way to guarantee your purchase from stores that are notoriously difficult for international buyers to navigate.

Spanish Import Tax and Duties

When the ring arrives in Spain, it will be subject to import tax. Specifically, you will be responsible for the Spanish VAT (IVA), which is currently 21% for electronics. Depending on the declared value, additional import duties or customs tax may apply. It is vital to factor these costs into your budget to avoid surprises at the border. For a deeper dive into how these fees are calculated, check the latest updates on GST/VAT and import tax regulations.
