Just a moment, securing your connection...

The 'Made in USA' designation remains a prestigious badge of quality. These pairs are manufactured in New Balance’s American factories, ensuring a level of craftsmanship that collectors in Europe and Asia find incredibly desirable. In Germany, finding the specific Core Collection colorways can be difficult as local stockists often receive limited quantities, leading many to look toward US-based retailers to secure their size.

The Economic Logic of Shopping in the USA

Purchasing premium footwear in Germany often comes with a significant "import premium" added by local retailers. By the time the 990v7 hits shelves in Berlin or Munich, the price has often been inflated to cover distribution costs and higher European overhead. Using a comGateway account allows you to access a tax-free US address, effectively letting you shop at US retail prices which are frequently 20% to 30% lower than those found in the EU.

Shipping Estimates for Your New Kicks

Before you hit the checkout button, it is essential to understand the logistics of moving footwear across the Atlantic. Use a shipping calculator to get a precise idea of the total landed cost.

To ensure you are getting the best deal, compare international shipping rates to see which speed and price point fits your budget.

Overcoming Store Blocks with BuyForMe

A common hurdle for German shoppers is that major US retailers—including official brand stores and high-end boutiques—often implement strict payment filters. These stores may decline orders made with international credit cards or refuse to ship to addresses they identify as logistics hubs. This can make securing a high-demand release like the 990v7 extremely frustrating.

The comGateway BuyForMe service provides a seamless solution. Instead of battling payment declines, you simply tell us what you want, and we use a US domestic credit card to purchase the item on your behalf. This assisted purchase method is the most reliable way to guarantee your order is accepted and processed without the risk of a sudden cancellation.

Managing Import Duties and Taxes in Germany

When your package arrives in Germany, it will be subject to local regulations. Understanding import duties and the current VAT (Mehrwertsteuer) is crucial for avoiding surprises at your doorstep. Typically, footwear imported from outside the EU is subject to both customs duty and the standard 19% VAT based on the total value of the goods and shipping costs.

Getting Your Pair to Germany with a Freight Forwarder

Once your New Balance 990v7 arrives at your US address, a parcel forwarding service becomes your most valuable tool. You can choose to have your shoes inspected for accuracy before they leave the US, ensuring you received the correct size and the 'Made in USA' quality you expected. Choosing to forward packages through an experienced provider ensures that your premium sneakers are handled with care and reach your German residence safely in 2026.
