Shipping the LEGO Botanical Sequoia from the US to Germany is pretty straightforward

The reason everyone wants the LEGO Sequoia right now

It is April 2026, and the LEGO Icons Botanical Collection has just grown significantly with the release of the Giant Sequoia (Set #104XX). This set has quickly become one of the most talked-about popular products on social media because of its scale and the detailed bark texture that LEGO designers managed to pull off. For those of us in Germany, seeing these sets hit the shelves at high Euro prices can be a bit frustrating, especially when US prices remain significantly lower.

Just a moment, securing your connection...

The price gap in 2026 is still a major factor for collectors. Buying this set from a shop US store often results in a 20-30% saving compared to local retail prices in Europe. Since the Sequoia is the centerpiece of the 2026 Botanical line, everyone is trying to get their hands on it before it goes on backorder.

Finding the Sequoia at US retailers

To get the best deal, you generally want to look at major US retailers like Amazon, Target, or the official LEGO US site. These stores often have the best stock levels. Because you are shipping to Germany, you will need a tax-free US address to avoid paying US state sales tax on top of your purchase. Using a freight forwarder allows you to have a dedicated spot in a state like Oregon where that tax does not apply.

If you are worried about the cost of getting it across the Atlantic, you can always check a shipping calculator to see how the weight of the Sequoia affects the final price. Usually, even with shipping, the total cost stays below what you would pay at a hobby shop in Berlin or Munich.

Shipping estimates and box details

Before you hit the buy button, it helps to know what you are looking at in terms of logistics. LEGO sets are generally light but the boxes can be quite large, which is something every international shopper should keep in mind.

A note on volumetric weight

The Giant Sequoia comes in a fairly wide box to accommodate the large baseplate and the many green leaf elements. Because LEGO boxes contain a lot of air, your shipping cost might be calculated based on the volume (size) of the box rather than just the physical weight. This is standard for a freight forwarder, but it is good to be aware of it so there are no surprises. You can find more details on how this works in the help center.

Since this set is purely plastic and botanical elements, it does not fall under any shipping rules regarding restricted goods. It is a very safe item to ship internationally without worrying about battery regulations or hazardous materials.

The easy way to handle tricky US checkout pages

One of the most annoying parts of shopping from Germany is when a US store refuses to take a German credit card. Big retailers like Target or even the official LEGO store sometimes block international billing addresses or flag orders going to a warehouse address. This is where the "Lazy Method" really shines because you do not have to spend hours talking to customer service.

The BuyForMe service is the best way to get around these blocks. Essentially, you tell the team what you want, and they use a US-based credit card and a domestic profile to buy the item for you. This is an assisted purchase that guarantees the order goes through without being cancelled. It is the safest way to ensure your Giant Sequoia set is actually secured before it sells out.

Using proxy shopping also means you do not have to worry about setting up accounts on multiple US websites. You just provide the link, and the logistics team handles the rest of the paperwork.

What to know about German customs and delivery

When the package arrives in Germany, it will go through the usual customs process. Since you are importing from outside the EU, you will likely be responsible for the Import VAT (Einfuhrumsatzsteuer). The good news is that for toys and LEGO, the actual duty rate is often 0%, meaning you only pay the VAT.

The support team can help with documentation if needed, but usually, the process is handled automatically by the local courier like DHL or UPS once the package clears the hub. If you have more questions about how the process works for German residents, the FAQ covers most of the common scenarios regarding customs declarations and final delivery steps.

Overall, getting the 2026 Sequoia set from the USA is just a matter of a few clicks if you use the right services. It saves money, gets you the set earlier than some local releases, and avoids the headache of dealing with cancelled orders.
