The blueprint for sourcing from US retailers

If you have ever tried to check out on a US site only to find they do not ship to Germany, you know the frustration. To get around this, you need a tax-free US address. This allows you to shop at stores like Kith, Bodega, or even the official New Balance US site as if you were living in Oregon or Delaware. By using a freight forwarder, you can bypass the shipping restrictions that keep these exclusive pairs out of Europe.

Once you have your US address, the process is straightforward. Check our step-by-step guide to see how simple it is to funnel your US purchases through a single hub before they head across the Atlantic.

Shipping Estimates for your 1906R

Before you hit that buy button, you need to know what the journey to Germany will look like. Here is a breakdown of what to expect for a standard pair of New Balance 1906R sneakers in their original box.

To get a more precise figure for your specific location in Germany, you can use a shipping calculator. This helps you avoid any surprises when the final bill arrives.

International shipping vs Local waiting

When comparing international shipping rates against the inflated prices of resellers on European platforms, the DIY import method often wins. You are paying for the retail price in the US plus the cost of international shipping, which frequently totals less than the 300% markup found on secondary markets in Germany.

Germany import duties and VAT

Shipping to Germany means you need to be aware of the 19% Einfuhrumsatzsteuer (VAT) and potential customs fees for items over a certain value. It is vital to factor these import duties into your budget so you are not caught off guard by a bill from DHL or UPS at your doorstep. Check our guide on customs tax for more details on how Germany handles footwear imports from outside the EU.

By following this plan, you can secure the 1906R colorways that everyone else is waiting for, ensuring your collection stays ahead of the curve in 2026. Just remember to use a shop US store strategy that utilizes a reliable hub to consolidate your packages if you are planning on picking up multiple pairs.
