What to actually buy on A.P.C.'s European site (and ship to the USA)
A.P.C. is a French house, and apcstore.com (its EU store) is the brand's home market — the deepest catalogue, the EU-only Interaction collab drops, and the broadest raw-denim size and cut matrix all live here. The reason to buy A.P.C. in France and ship to the USA is twofold: access and price. The same Petit New Standard jeans run about €230 on the EU site (that price already includes ~20% French VAT, which stays baked in when you forward — a forwarder cannot reclaim it for you) versus roughly $250–$260 on the US site (apc-us.com) before US state sales tax. The gap tends to widen on the Demi-Lune bag and full-price collab capsules. The catch: the European store does NOT ship to the United States or Canada — it explicitly redirects you to apc-us.com — so the only way to buy at the euro price and reach the full EU catalogue is to ship to an EU forwarding address and have the parcel sent on to your US door.
Buy what A.P.C. is genuinely known for, where the EU site is deepest and the euro price bites hardest. Register a free EU forwarding address to unlock apcstore.com checkout, then run your basket through the on-page calculator for a landed-cost estimate before you commit.
- Petit New Standard jeans — the slim/tapered unisex cut in heavyweight Japanese raw selvedge indigo; A.P.C.'s most-bought style, ~€230 on apcstore.com
- Petit Standard jeans — the classic slim men's raw denim cut that built the brand's reputation, comparable ~€230 range
- New Standard / Standard jeans — straighter-leg raw selvedge cuts for those who want more room
- Demi-Lune (Half-Moon) bag — A.P.C.'s iconic curved leather crossbody, ~€400+ (where the EU-vs-US price gap is often widest)
- Minimalist staples — oxford button-downs, fine-gauge knits, the Kaplan/cardigan styles A.P.C. is known for
- Interaction collab capsules — A.P.C. x Nike, x Sacai, x JW Anderson, x Brain Dead and similar EU-exclusive drops that sell out or never reach the smaller US assortment
Note: since 29 Aug 2025 the US $800 de minimis no longer applies, so US import duty can apply from the first dollar; 2026 rates are changing, so we estimate your landed cost before you ship.

APC France doesn't ship to USA. Here's the fix.
No direct USA shipping
APC France restricts shipping to European addresses, leaving USA shoppers without direct access.
High third-party markups
Resellers charge a premium for APC France products. Buying directly saves 15–30%.
Geographic restrictions
APC France's website may block non-European payment methods and delivery addresses.
A.P.C. sizing: measure your real waist, and size up — raw denim runs snug
A.P.C. uses French/European sizing, and its denim is sold by numeric waist (28, 30, 32…) that maps to real body measurements rather than vanity sizing — so don't assume your usual US jean number. As a rough planning guide, size 28 is around a 30.5in waist, 30 around 32.4in, 32 around 34.4in. Measure your actual waist and match the table below. On top of that, A.P.C.'s raw denim runs small and snug at first and relaxes with wear; the brand itself flags the Petit New Standard as running small and advises choosing about one size larger than usual (and roughly two sizes larger if you want a loose fit). Most cuts are effectively unisex: women sizing up from their dress size and men using true waist works best.
Getting this right matters more than usual, because returns from the US back to a European order are slow and costly (see the returns section). Open the product's own size guide before you order, and our team can sanity-check a fit against your measurements before you buy to the free EU forwarding address you claim at registration.
- Denim is sized by true waist — measure yourself; as a guide, size 28 ≈ 30.5in, 30 ≈ 32.4in, 32 ≈ 34.4in.
- A.P.C.'s own guidance: the Petit New Standard runs small — go about one size up from usual, or roughly two sizes up for a loose fit.
- Raw denim starts snug and relaxes with wear; most cuts are effectively unisex (women size up from dress size, men use true waist).
- Tops and knits use EU numeric: women's 36/38/40 ≈ US 4/6/8; men's S/M/L.
- Cross-border returns are slow, so confirming the size before you order is the real money-saver — our team can sanity-check your measurements.
| A.P.C. denim size (EU waist) | Approx. waist | Typical US jean | EU tops/knits | US tops |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 28 | 30.5" / 77 cm | 28–29 | 36 | 4 / S |
| 30 | 32.4" / 82 cm | 30–31 | 38 | 6 / M |
| 32 | 34.4" / 87 cm | 32–33 | 40 | 8 / L |
| 34 | 36.4" / 92 cm | 34–35 | 42 | 10 / XL |
| 36 | 38.3" / 97 cm | 36–37 | 44 | 12 / XXL |
Sizing is approximate and for planning only; A.P.C. raw denim relaxes with wear, so follow the brand's 'runs small — size up' guidance and the product's own size guide. Verified 2026-06-13. Source: A.P.C. official size guide (waist measurements, cuts).

US customs & import duty (EU → USA), explained
Here is the honest version most forwarders won't tell you. The old US$800 "de minimis" exemption that let small parcels enter the United States duty-free was suspended on 29 August 2025, and the suspension applies to EU shipments too. That exemption no longer exists: US import duty can now apply to your order from the very first dollar, with no value threshold below which clothing arrives free. The upside for your budget is that the US has no federal VAT or GST, so at the border you face customs duty only — not a value-added tax. Any state sales or use tax is your own obligation and is never collected by the courier. One more number to plan around: your your EU store prices already include Spain's 21% VAT, and shipping through a forwarder to an EU address does not let a private shopper reclaim that VAT (a tourist refund needs a personal export with a customs stamp, which a forwarder can't do). So budget against the .es sticker price, not a tax-free one.
The one figure we deliberately won't pin down is the exact duty rate, because in 2026 it is genuinely in flux. An IEEPA-based tariff framework was struck down in February 2026, and a temporary Section 122 surcharge now sits on top of the normal HTS apparel rates — so any single "X% on clothes" number you read online is probably already stale. Rather than guess, we estimate your full landed cost — item value, plus duty, plus shipping — before you ship, so you can plan with a realistic estimate. Create your free Spanish forwarding address, fill your cart at your EU store, and run it through our shipping calculator for the real number before you commit.

VAT and tax-free on A.P.C.: the honest version
We'll be straight with you, because most forwarding sites won't. When you buy from apcstore.com and ship to an EU forwarding address, French VAT (~20%) stays baked into the price. We can't refund it, and neither can anyone else doing it this way. The tourist VAT refund (Tax Free) only applies when you personally carry the goods out of the EU and get a customs stamp — a forwarder cannot claim it on your behalf. Anyone promising you a VAT refund through forwarding is misleading you.
Here's why you still come out ahead. A.P.C. is a French house, so its European site is the brand's home market: the same Petit New Standard jeans run about €230 (VAT included) on apcstore.com versus roughly $250–$260 on apc-us.com before US state sales tax, and the gap tends to be widest on the Demi-Lune bag and full-price collab capsules. On top of the price, the EU site carries the full ready-to-wear and accessories range plus EU-exclusive Interaction drops the smaller US assortment may never get. The win isn't a tax dodge — it's buying at the euro price, reaching the deepest catalogue and size matrix, and shipping to your US address even though apcstore.com only delivers within the EU.
Claim your free EU forwarding address to unlock apcstore.com checkout, then run your basket through the calculator for a landed-cost estimate — VAT-inclusive euro price plus shipping and any US duty — before you commit.
Tax note (verified 13 June 2026): French VAT (~20%) is included in apcstore.com prices and is generally not reclaimable by a private buyer when goods ship to an EU forwarding address, so we never promise a VAT refund. The US has no federal VAT or GST, only customs duty at the border; any US state sales/use tax is the buyer's own obligation. The US $800 de minimis exemption (Section 321) was suspended for all origins, including the EU, on 29 Aug 2025, so US customs duty can now apply from the first dollar. 2026 US duty rates are volatile and being litigated, so we don't quote a fixed permanent rate; we estimate your landed cost before you ship.

What it costs to ship an A.P.C. order from Europe to the USA
Forwarding cost tracks weight, and A.P.C. is a forgiving brand to ship because its hero items are dense and flat rather than bulky. A pair of raw selvedge jeans weighs roughly 0.7–0.9 kg on its own and around 1.0–1.2 kg boxed for shipping; the Demi-Lune leather bag is light at ~0.5–0.8 kg shipped, and shirts and knits sit at ~0.3–0.5 kg. Most single-item A.P.C. parcels land in the ~1 kg billable-weight range, with denim being the heaviest common item. Because jeans are dense and flat, they bill close to their real weight — volumetric (dimensional) weight only bites on bulky or boxed pieces, and A.P.C.'s catalogue has few of those.
The real saving is consolidation: place several A.P.C. orders, let them all arrive at your free EU forwarding address, and we combine them into one box — so you pay a single international leg and one customs entry instead of paying per parcel. Run your exact items through the on-page quote calculator for a live cost band, then register a free EU address to start consolidating.
- Consolidation is the real saving: combine several A.P.C. orders into one box and pay a single international leg plus one customs entry, not one charge per parcel.
- Denim bills near its true weight (flat and dense); volumetric weight only matters on bulky or boxed items, which A.P.C. has few of.
- A.P.C.'s own EU free-shipping threshold kicks in around €250+ order value, so consolidating two or more pieces can also clear free shipping to your EU address.
- US import duty now applies (the $800 de minimis ended 29 Aug 2025), so we estimate your full landed cost — shipping plus duty — before you commit.
- Run your exact items through the on-page calculator, then register a free EU address to start consolidating.
| A.P.C. item | Approx. shipped weight |
|---|---|
| Oxford shirt | 0.3–0.5 kg |
| Fine-gauge knit | 0.4–0.5 kg |
| Demi-Lune bag | 0.5–0.8 kg |
| Raw selvedge jeans (boxed) | 1.0–1.2 kg |
| Two pairs of jeans (consolidated) | ~2.0–2.4 kg |
Weights are typical estimates for planning only; couriers bill the higher of actual vs volumetric weight, and the forwarder parcel cap is 30 kg. US import duty now applies from the first dollar — the $800 de minimis was suspended on 29 Aug 2025 — and 2026 rates are still changing, so we estimate your landed cost before you ship.

A real landed-cost example: A.P.C. France → USA
Here is roughly what a typical A.P.C. order — a pair of Petit New Standard jeans bought in France and shipped to the USA — can cost delivered to a US door in 2026. Treat it as an illustration, not a quote: your real shipping price comes from the calculator above, and we estimate the US duty for your parcel before it leaves the EU. The duty figures below are an illustrative planning band only — 2026 US rates are changing and being litigated, so we never quote a single fixed rate.
- The €230 euro price often beats the ~$250–$260 US sticker before US sales tax, so even after duty you can land near or below the US all-in cost — we estimate the numbers before you ship.
- Add a second pair or the Demi-Lune bag and consolidate into one box to spread the single shipping leg and one customs entry across more items.
- We estimate your full landed cost (item + shipping + estimated duty) before you commit to ship, so you can plan with a realistic estimate.
- On EU-exclusive collab pieces there is no US alternative at retail, so the comparison is against resale markups, not apc-us.com.
| Line item | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Petit New Standard jeans at apcstore.com (€230, ~20% French VAT included) | ≈ $250 |
| Resendify forwarding (economy, ~1.0–1.2 kg boxed) | from your live quote above |
| US import duty (2026 — rate in flux, illustrative band only) | budget roughly $25–$50 |
| Estimated landed cost | item + shipping + estimated duty |
Illustrative example as of 2026-06-13, not a quote or tax advice. The US $800 de minimis (Section 321) was suspended on 29 Aug 2025, so duty can apply from the first dollar; 2026 US duty rates are changing and being litigated, so we don't quote a single permanent rate and confirm the live rate per order before it ships.

Thousands of global shoppers trust Resendify
From fashion to car parts, from luxury to electronics — global shoppers use Resendify to buy from Europe without limits.
“Finally a service that actually works for buying from Spanish stores. I ordered from Zara España, MANGO and El Corte Inglés in the same week — everything arrived consolidated in one box. Shipping to LA was way cheaper than I expected.”
“I bought a MediaMarkt laptop that wasn't available in Canada at that price. The process was seamless — got my European address, placed the order, and Resendify handled everything from there. Will definitely use again.”
“Been sourcing European car parts for years. Resendify is the best forwarding service I've used for Europe-to-India shipments. The consolidation feature saved me hundreds on a single order.”
“Bought from a French boutique that doesn't ship to Australia. Got my Resendify address in minutes, placed the order, and it was on my doorstep in Sydney two weeks later. Exactly as advertised.”
“I source from 4–5 European suppliers every month. Resendify consolidates everything before it hits the US, which cuts my per-unit shipping cost significantly. The quote tool is accurate and the team is responsive.”
“Found a Zalando deal that was EU-only. Used Resendify, got the item shipped to Dubai without any issues. The customs documentation was all handled — that's the part I usually dread.”
A.P.C. returns: 14 business days, but the prepaid label is for the EU — so nail the size first
A.P.C.'s European site allows returns within 14 business days of delivery, items unworn and in original condition, and the first return per order is typically free via a prepaid UPS label A.P.C. emails after authorization. The catch for a US buyer: that label is generated for the country the order shipped to — your EU forwarding address — not your US home. In practice you either ship the item back to the EU forwarding address (and have the forwarder re-send it, or re-export at your own cost) or pay international return postage yourself; any additional returns from the same order are typically buyer-paid. Under French/EU consumer law there is also a withdrawal right (commonly 14 days) covering the outward-shipping refund. Bottom line: a refund is workable but slow, and best handled through the EU address — so buy your A.P.C. size deliberately to avoid cross-border returns. A.P.C.'s own "runs small — size up" guidance and the size guide are your best insurance.
- Window: 14 business days from delivery, unworn and in original condition; the first return per order is typically free via a prepaid UPS label.
- The label is issued for the EU shipping country (your forwarding address), not your US home — that's the real friction from abroad.
- From the US: either return to the EU forwarding address (have the forwarder re-send the label or re-export at your cost) or pay international return postage; extra returns on the same order are typically buyer-paid.
- French/EU consumer law adds a withdrawal right (commonly 14 days) covering the outward-shipping refund.
- Best move: get the fit right first using A.P.C.'s 'runs small — size up' guidance and the size guide, so you never need a cross-border return.
