Why everyone is obsessed with the 2026 Sanrio drop
If you have been keeping an eye on us trends lately, you know that the Baggu x Sanrio 2026 Spring Collection is currently the hottest accessory on the market. This year, the collaboration feels different. Baggu released US-exclusive prints featuring Cinnamoroll and Pompompurin that are not being distributed through standard international channels. For fans in South Korea, this makes getting these items feel nearly impossible unless you are willing to pay a massive premium.
The 2026 prints feature a retro-pastel aesthetic that has taken social media by storm. Because these are limited runs, they sell out on the official US Baggu site within minutes.

Dealing with the markup from local Korean resellers
The "hidden barrier" for most shoppers in Seoul isn't just the distance; it is the opportunistic pricing of local resellers. It is common to see a standard reusable Baggu that retails for $16 USD being sold for over ₩45,000 on local platforms. That is almost a 60% markup before you even consider local delivery fees. Many people assume this is just the cost of doing business, but there is a way around it.
By using a freight forwarder, you can bypass these resellers entirely. You buy at the same price as an American shopper and only pay for the actual transit to Korea. Check out this guide on Read more: Saving ₩45,000 on the Baggu x Sanrio 2026 Spring Collection by using a US freight forwarder.
Calculating your shipping costs to Seoul
To help you decide if buying from the US is worth it, here is a breakdown of what you can expect when shipping these items. You can also use a shipping calculator to get a more precise figure based on your specific order size.
| Item Type | Estimated Weight | Estimated Dimensions |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Baggu (1-3 bags) | 0.5 kg (approx. 1.1 lbs) | Small Mailer (25x20x5 cm) |
| Sanrio Cloud Sleeves/Pouches | 0.3 kg (approx. 0.7 lbs) | Small Mailer (20x15x3 cm) |
| Big Baggu or Crescent Bag | 0.8 kg (approx. 1.8 lbs) | Small Box (30x25x10 cm) |
Battery Check: This collection consists entirely of nylon and fabric goods. There are no lithium batteries, so you do not need to worry about special dangerous goods handling fees or restrictions.
Avoiding the volumetric weight trap
One thing to watch out for is volumetric weight. Baggu products are generally light, but if you order a large quantity or if the US store uses an oversized box, you might be charged based on the space the package occupies rather than its actual weight. If you are worried about costs, check the FAQ for tips on how to consolidate items. Using a parcel forwarding service that offers repacking can save you a significant amount of money by reducing the box size before it flies to Korea.
Setting up your US address for the drop
Buying from the Baggu US store requires a US shipping address. This is where comGateway comes in. When you register, you get a tax-free us address in Oregon. This is a huge advantage because it means you don't pay any US sales tax on your Sanrio gear, keeping your initial costs even lower.
If you have never done this before, here is a step-by-step guide on how the process works. Essentially, you shop us store sites like you normally would, enter your unique US address at checkout, and then forward packages to your home in South Korea once they arrive at the warehouse.
Handling South Korean import taxes and PCCC
When bringing goods into South Korea, remember the de minimis threshold. Usually, for goods from the US, you can import up to $200 USD (including the cost of the items and domestic US shipping) without paying import duties or VAT. Since most Baggu orders fall under this amount, you likely won't pay any extra tax at the Korean border.
However, you will need your Personal Customs Clearance Code (PCCC) ready for the customs clearance process.
