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.

Let's be straight with you. When you buy on the Italian site, the EUR price you see already includes Italian VAT, and shipping to a forwarder address inside the EU does not let a private shopper reclaim that VAT. The tourist tax-free refund scheme requires you to personally export the goods and get a customs stamp on the way out — something a forwarding service cannot do on your behalf. So we will never promise you a VAT refund through forwarding; anyone who does is misleading you.

The real value isn't a refund — it's the price and the access. Diesel is Italian, so the EUR home-market price is structurally lower than the US USD list for the same fit (core jeans list €140-175 in Italy versus $195 in the US), and European seasonal sales tend to go deeper (often around -40% to -60%), bringing core fits down toward roughly €98-136 — well under the $195 US sticker. On top of price, forwarding is the only practical way to reach the EU catalogue in full: the complete colourways and washes, the Made-in-Italy capsule, and collab and limited pieces.

Here's a realistic, dated example for a typical Diesel basket — two pairs of jeans bought in an EU seasonal sale. The item price already includes Italian VAT. To it we add forwarding, then an estimated US import duty shown as a BAND, because 2026 rates are genuinely in flux.

Important context: the US $800 de minimis exemption was suspended on 2025-08-29, so US import duty can now apply from the very first dollar — there is no "under $800 is duty-free" anymore. The exact rate is volatile in 2026 (the IEEPA 15% framework was struck down in February 2026, with a temporary surcharge layered on normal HTS rates), so we don't quote a single permanent rate. We estimate a 10-20% duty band and confirm the landed cost with you before we ship. Note the US has no federal VAT/GST at the border — only customs duty; any state sales or use tax is your own obligation, not collected by customs.
