COS (Collection of Style) is a Scandinavian fashion brand offering modern, functional design with minimalist aesthetics.

Shipping time from Europe to the United States depends on the carrier and service level you choose, with full tracking and export documentation handled by Resendify.
COS is H&M Group's minimalist, London-based label โ clean-lined, architectural wardrobe staples in premium materials (merino, cashmere, wool-blend, organic-cotton jersey, recycled nylon) that look triple their price. The European site is where the brand actually lives: the fullest catalogue, complete colour and size runs, earlier stock, and Europe-first capsules and design collabs like COS x HAY that never reach the US edit. Crucially, COS sets near-identical numeric prices across currencies instead of converting them, so the EUR or GBP ticket usually undercuts the US price on the same garment โ one widely-cited comparison found a printed A-line dress at about $78 via the UK versus $99 on cos.com/en-us, roughly 21% off one mid-priced item. That European price already includes ~20-21% VAT, so the headline saving is conservative.
Forward the pieces COS is genuinely known for: the Clean Cut T-shirt, expertly-knit merino and cashmere jumpers, tailored wide-leg trousers, and the brand's pillar outerwear โ trenches and funnel-neck wool coats. The economics work best on a consolidated box of several pieces (a tee, a knit and trousers), where the per-item price gap plus a single shipping leg beats buying the same items on the US site.

COS's primary scale is EU sizing, and the brand is known to run large and boxy by design. Structured pieces โ shirts, shirt-dresses, wide-leg trousers and outerwear โ are intentionally roomy with dropped shoulders, so many US shoppers size down for a neat fit; knitwear is loose with stretch. As a rough rule, the EU number is roughly your US women's numeric size plus 30-32 (so EU 38 โ US 6-8, EU 40 โ US 8-10), with UK running about 4 sizes above US. Because that offset varies by garment, the EU column is your anchor, not the US label you usually wear. Footwear is EU sized and runs true to size: EU 40 โ US 7 women (US 7.5 men) / UK 6.5.
This matters because a European COS order can't be conveniently returned from the US, so treat each buy as effectively final. Match the EU column below rather than your usual US label number, and lean on the brand's true-to-size / size-down notes on the product's own size guide before ordering. Our team can sanity-check a fit against your measurements before you order to the EU forwarding address you claim free at registration.
| EU | US (women) | UK | Your usual US size |
|---|---|---|---|
| 34 | 2-4 | 8 | US 2-4 |
| 36 | 4-6 | 10 | US 4-6 |
| 38 | 6-8 | 12 | US 6-8 |
| 40 | 8-10 | 14 | US 8-10 |
| 42 | 10-12 | 16 | US 10-12 |
| 44 | 12-14 | 18 | US 12-14 |
Sizing is a guide only; COS runs large/boxy and the EU-to-US offset varies by style, so always confirm the EU measurement on the product's own size guide. COS footwear uses EU sizing (EU 40 โ US 7 women / US 7.5 men). Verified 13 Jun 2026. Source: COS size guide.

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 โ 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 โ so any single "X% on clothes" number you read online is probably already stale. Rather than guess, we estimate your full landed cost โ item value, plus duty, plus shipping โ 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.

We'll be straight with you, because most forwarding sites won't. When you buy COS from the European site and ship to an EU forwarding address, the local VAT (~20-21%) 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 at the airport, so a forwarder simply 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: COS is notorious for setting near-identical numeric prices across currencies instead of converting them, so even with VAT already included, the EUR or GBP ticket typically undercuts the USD figure on cos.com/en-us on the same garment โ that widely-cited A-line dress works out to about $78 via the UK versus $99 on the US site, roughly 21% on one item, and the gap compounds across a multi-item order. The win isn't a tax dodge โ it's buying at the European home-market price, getting the full catalogue, complete size runs and Europe-only lines like COS x HAY you can't get stateside, and shipping to your US address even though the European checkout only delivers within the EU.
Note that the US has no federal VAT or GST โ only customs duty at the border โ and since 29 Aug 2025 that duty can apply from the first dollar.

Tax note (verified 13 June 2026): EU/UK VAT (~20-21%) is included in the European price 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 (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.

When you buy from COS Europe and ship to the USA, your forwarding cost tracks weight, so knowing how COS pieces add up is the fastest way to predict your bill. A Clean Cut cotton tee is light at roughly 0.13-0.17 kg, most knitwear (merino jumpers, zip-ups) lands around 0.45-0.7 kg, and tailored trousers run ~0.4-0.6 kg โ so a typical 2-4 item order of flat pieces sits at a manageable weight. Add ~0.1-0.2 kg per item for COS's tissue, garment protection and the box.
The real weight and volume drivers are the coats: wool-blend and double-faced wool trenches commonly run ~1.2-2.0 kg and ship bulky, so their volumetric (dimensional) weight often exceeds their actual weight. Couriers bill the higher of the two, so flat, dense pieces like trousers bill close to real weight, while a fluffy boiled-wool coat is where volumetric weight bites. Worth consolidating a bulky coat with flat pieces in one box. Run your exact items through the on-page calculator for a live quote, then register a free EU address to start consolidating.
| COS item | Approx. weight |
|---|---|
| Clean Cut T-shirt | 0.13-0.17 kg |
| Cashmere triangle scarf | ~0.2 kg |
| Tailored trousers / tulip pants | 0.4-0.6 kg |
| Merino jumper / zip-up | 0.45-0.7 kg |
| Chunky cashmere / boiled-wool knit | 0.7-1.0 kg |
| Convertible nylon trench | ~0.8-1.0 kg |
| Wool-blend / double-faced wool coat | 1.2-2.0 kg actual (volumetric often higher) |
Weights are typical estimates for planning only; couriers bill the higher of actual vs volumetric weight, and add ~0.1-0.2 kg per item for COS packaging. US import duty now applies from the first dollar โ the $800 de minimis was suspended on 29 Aug 2025 โ and 2026 rates are still changing, so we estimate your landed cost before you ship.

Here is roughly what a typical COS Europe order costs delivered to a US door in 2026. Picture a representative basket โ a Clean Cut T-shirt, a merino crew-neck jumper and a pair of pleated wool-blend trousers, around โฌ270 with EU/UK VAT already included (about $290 at mid-2026 rates). Treat this as an illustration, not a quote โ your real shipping price comes from the calculator above, and we estimate the US duty for your parcel before it leaves Europe.
| Line item | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Cart on COS Europe (โ โฌ270, ~20-21% VAT included) | โ $290 |
| Resendify forwarding (economy, ~1.5 kg consolidated) | from your live quote above |
| US import duty on apparel (2026 โ rate in flux, budget a band) | โ 10-20% of value (~$29-$58) |
| Estimated landed cost | item + shipping + ~$29-$58 duty |
Illustrative example as of 2026-06-13, not a quote or tax advice.

โFinally a service that actually works for buying from Spanish stores. I ordered from Zara Espaรฑa, MANGO and El Corte Inglรฉs in the same week โ everything arrived consolidated in one box. Shipping to LA was way cheaper than I expected.โ

โBeen 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.โ

โI source from 4โ5 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.โ
โFound a Zalando deal that was EU-only. Used Resendify, got the item shipped to Dubai without any issues. The customs documentation was all handled โ that's the part I usually dread.โ
On the European/UK site COS is generous: 30 days for full-price items and 14 days for sale items, on top of the EU statutory 14-day right of withdrawal, with refunds to the original payment method within 14 days of receipt; items must be unworn, clean and tagged. The catch for a US shopper is that the prepaid return label in the box is a domestic EU label, and COS deducts a small return fee (around โฌ4 in Germany). There's no convenient consumer path for sending an EU-origin parcel back from the US โ cross-border returns are slow, costly and may not be honored โ so a forwarded COS order should be treated as effectively final once it leaves Europe.
The practical move: inspect and, if needed, return within the EU before forwarding โ for example back to the warehouse while the window is still open โ rather than shipping back from the US. And because COS runs large and boxy by design, get the fit right the first time: many US shoppers size down on structured pieces (EU 38 โ US 6-8), while knitwear runs loose. Use our EU-to-US size guide and the product's own size chart, then claim your free EU forwarding address and order with confidence.
