Just a moment, securing your connection...

Buying this pair requires access to US-based retailers that often stock these releases before they reach international boutiques. Using a tax-free US address allows shoppers to secure their pair from stores like New Balance US, Kith, or Bodega without paying US sales tax.

The price difference between India and the United States

Retail prices for premium sneakers in India are frequently higher than in the US. This discrepancy is often due to distributor markups and local retail overhead. The New Balance 990v6 Forest Moss retails for a standard price in the US, whereas boutique stores in Mumbai or Delhi may list similar models at a 30% to 50% premium. Many shoppers use comGateway to bypass these local price hikes and buy directly from the source.

Shipping Estimates for India

Knowing the physical details of the package is necessary for budgeting. The following estimates apply to a single pair of New Balance 990v6 'Made in USA' (2026 'Forest Moss' Edition) in its original retail box.

It is helpful to estimate shipping cost before placing an order to understand the total investment required for international delivery. These shoes are relatively light, which generally keeps the shipping costs within a reasonable range for express couriers.

Volumetric Weight Considerations

International shipping rates are calculated based on either actual weight or volumetric weight. A shoe box is typically compact, but if a retailer uses an excessively large outer box, the cost might increase. If you are worried about the size of the package, the FAQ on the comGateway site provides details on how to request repacking to reduce volume.

Battery and Safety Regulations

The New Balance 990v6 Forest Moss is a traditional athletic shoe. It does not contain any lithium batteries or electronic components. Because of this, there are no special hazardous material handling fees or airline safety restrictions applicable to this shipment. It is a standard category item for international air travel.

The process for ordering from US stores

Ordering from US stores follows a specific sequence. Shoppers first need to register for a US-based shipping address. This address acts as a bridge between the US retailer and the final destination in India. A step-by-step guide is available to help new users navigate the registration and checkout process.

Once the sneakers arrive at the US facility, you can choose your preferred shipping speed to India. This method ensures that you can shop at any US retailer, even those that do not offer direct international shipping to India.

Importing sneakers into India

Importing goods into India involves certain taxes. When the shoes arrive, they are subject to import duties and GST. The courier service usually handles the customs clearance process and provides an invoice for the taxes due. Providing a valid KYC document (like an Aadhaar card or Passport) to the courier is a standard requirement for customs clearance in India. Keeping these documents ready prevents delays in the final delivery of the 2026 Forest Moss edition to your doorstep.
