The 2026 drop features specific US-exclusive colorways—like the soft 'Matcha Cream' and 'Sunset Bow'—that are simply not available in European boutiques. For fashion enthusiasts in Italy, getting your hands on this specific piece usually means dealing with limited stock or massive local markups. That is why many are looking toward the US market to secure their size.

The math: US prices vs Italian retail

Is it actually cheaper to buy from the US? When you look at the price tag on Sandy Liang’s official site or US retailers like Nordstrom, the base price is significantly lower than what you would find in a high-end boutique in Milan. Even when you factor in the cost of a freight forwarder, the savings often add up to over €80.

Most Italian shoppers are choosing to shop US store options because of the better availability. To see if the savings work for your specific budget, you can use a shipping calculator to get a clear picture of the total cost before you hit the checkout button.

How to shop US stores from Italy

The biggest hurdle for Italian shoppers is that many US brands do not offer direct international shipping, or if they do, the rates are astronomical. This is where package forwarding becomes a lifesaver. By using a service like comGateway, you get a tax-free US address to use at checkout. This means you do not pay US sales tax, which is a nice 7-10% saving right off the bat.

If you are new to this, here is a quick step-by-step guide: you sign up for an account, use your assigned US address at the Sandy Liang checkout, and once it arrives at the warehouse, you forward packages directly to your home in Italy. It is a much more reliable way to ensure your hoodie doesn't get lost in a generic postal system.

Shipping Estimates: Weight and dimensions

To help you plan your purchase from the Spring 2026 Collection, here are the physical specs for the Regina Hoodie. These estimates will help you get an accurate quote from an international shipping service.

Volumetric Warning: While the Regina Hoodie is relatively light, it can be bulky due to the thick fleece material and the decorative bows. Some carriers like DHL international shipping or FedEx international shipping may calculate costs based on the box size rather than just the weight. If your package arrives in an oversized box, consider asking your service provider to repack it to save on costs.

Handling Italian import tax and customs

When the package arrives in Italy, you will need to account for the import tax. For clothing items coming from the US, the Italian Customs Agency (Agenzia delle Dogane) typically applies the standard VAT (IVA) of 22%. If the value of your hoodie exceeds €150, there may also be a small duty fee.

Using a professional freight forwarder makes this process smoother because they provide all the necessary digital documentation for customs. This reduces the chance of your Spring 2026 haul getting stuck in a warehouse for weeks. While the extra tax is an added cost, the lower US retail price and the 0% US sales tax usually keep the total price competitive compared to buying locally in Italy.
