For those living in Switzerland, getting your hands on these can be tricky. They are not slated for a wide European release yet, making the US market the only reliable source. This exclusivity is driving the trend, but the real challenge is getting them across the Atlantic without spending a fortune.

Buying from US Stores vs. Swiss Retailers

When we look at the numbers, the choice becomes clear. In the US, the 990v6 Pastel Pack retails for approximately $220. If you wait for these to hit boutiques in Zurich or Geneva, you can expect a significant markup, often pushing the price toward 300 CHF or more due to limited supply and import costs. By choosing to shop US store sites directly, you are essentially skipping the middleman markup.

Shipping Estimates for the 990v6 Box

If you are planning to use an international shipping service, you need to know the logistics of a standard New Balance 'Made in USA' box. Here is a breakdown to help you estimate shipping cost accurately:

Using a Tax-Free US Address to Order

Most US retailers like New Balance or Kith do not ship directly to Switzerland, or if they do, the rates are astronomical. This is where comGateway comes in handy. By using a tax-free US address in Oregon, you avoid paying US state sales tax, which can save you an additional 7% to 10% right at the start. Once the shoes arrive at the warehouse, you can manage your Switzerland delivery with ease.

If you have questions about how the process works for specific stores, you can always visit the FAQ section for a step-by-step breakdown on package management.

Swiss Import Duties vs. US Sales Tax

One of the biggest concerns for Swiss shoppers is the border. While you save on US sales tax, you must consider import duties and the Swiss VAT (currently 8.1% in 2026). Typically, if the value of your goods (including shipping) results in a VAT amount of less than 5 CHF, it is waived, but for a $220 pair of sneakers, you will definitely be paying VAT. Check our guide on customs tax to understand how the weight-based duty system in Switzerland applies to footwear.

Final Cost Analysis

Let's look at the final comparison: Shipping via Forwarder vs. Swiss Resale Market.

If you buy from US ship to Switzerland, your total cost—retail price plus shipping and Swiss VAT—usually lands around 260-270 CHF. Compare this to the 350+ CHF you would likely pay on the resale market once these exclusives disappear from US shelves. For the smart shopper, the math favors the US retail route every time. The 990v6 'Made in USA' Spring 2026 Pastel Pack is a high-quality investment, and by managing the logistics yourself, you ensure you get the authentic product at the best possible price point.
