The cost difference for Spanish buyers

The reality of the current sneaker market is that local Spanish boutiques often mark up US-made products by 30% to 40%. When you factor in the availability of the Core Grey colorway, US retailers often have deeper stock levels. Choosing to shop US store sites allows you to access the base retail price before the European logistics markups are applied. Even with international transport, the total expenditure is often lower than buying locally.

Shipping Estimates Analysis

Calculating your total cost requires an understanding of the physical package properties. Use these estimates to estimate shipping cost accurately before placing your order.

It is important to check the prohibited items list to ensure no restricted cleaning kits or aerosols are included with your footwear order.

Securing your pair from US stores

The New Balance 990v7 'Made in USA' Core Grey is available at major American retailers like New Balance US, Kith, and Bodega. Most of these stores do not offer direct international shipping to Spain, or if they do, the costs are prohibitive. The standard practice for Spanish collectors is to use a tax-free US address provided by a freight forwarder. This avoids US sales tax and allows for package consolidation if you are buying multiple items from different stores.

Managing international delivery to Spain

Reliable Spain delivery typically takes 5 to 8 business days from the US warehouse. Using comGateway ensures your package is handled with the correct documentation for Spanish customs. If you have questions about the process, the FAQ section provides details on storage times and insurance options. You might also like to check our guide on import duties to better understand the final steps of the delivery process.

Spanish import regulations

Shipments entering Spain from outside the European Union are subject to import tax and VAT. As of 2026, all commercial imports are subject to 21% VAT regardless of value. While this adds to the cost, the lower US retail price for the 990v7 often still results in a net saving. Ensure your comGateway declaration matches your invoice to avoid delays during ship to Spain processing at the border.
