El Ganso's own webshop charges more outside Spain: the same Oxford shirt was €39.90 on the Spanish store and €59.90 on the brand's international view when we checked. A free Spanish address lets you buy at the home-market price — then we forward your parcel to any US address.
Founded in Madrid in 2004 by brothers Álvaro and Clemente Cebrián, El Ganso built Spain's answer to British prep: striped-sole leather sneakers, patch-pocket blazers, piqué polos and Oxford shirts, made in Europe by the brand's own account. Its boutiques cluster in Spain, France and Portugal with outposts in Mexico and Chile — there are no El Ganso stores in the US, and stateside stock on marketplaces is thin and random. The detail most shoppers miss: elganso.com runs separate country stores, and the Spanish one prices lowest. On 28 July 2026 the same Pink Oxford Shirt (SKU 2050W250002) listed at €39.90 in the Spanish summer sale versus €59.90 on the brand's international store — a 33% gap on identical stock. Shopping the Spain store with a Spanish address is simply buying El Ganso at El Ganso's best price. 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.
Shop the pieces the brand is actually famous for, at the store view that prices them lowest. El Ganso's calling card is the leather sneaker with the two-tone striped sole — the piece US preppy fans hunt on resale — followed by patch-pocket blazers, piqué polos, Oxford and garment-dyed button-down shirts, chinos and quilted jackets, with a full womenswear line alongside. In the July 2026 Segundas Rebajas the Spain store cut up to 50%: we logged an Oxford shirt at €39.90 (from €59.90), a butcher-stripe shirt at €45.90, a women's pinstripe blazer at €124.90 (from €189.90) and a quilted jacket at €98.90. The same SKUs listed 30–40% higher on the brand's own international and UK store views. Remember the 21% Spanish VAT stays baked into the euro price when you forward — the win here is the home-market price list plus the rebajas, not a tax trick.
Prices logged on elganso.com store views (es / intl_en) on 28 Jul 2026 during the Segundas Rebajas; sale prices change without notice and per-SKU gaps vary.

Same SKU, different tag: we found the Oxford shirt at €39.90 (Spain store) vs €59.90 (international store) and the butcher-stripe shirt at €45.90 vs €65.90 in the same July 2026 sale. The Spanish store is the cheap one — and it delivers to Spanish addresses.
El Ganso's roughly 170 boutiques sit in Spain, France, Portugal, Mexico and Chile plus Middle East franchises. In the US you're left with patchy third-party marketplace stock in leftover sizes.
El Ganso's own FAQ notes that shipments beyond Spain and Portugal exclude customs fees, which are billed to you on receipt — and every separate order pays its own international delivery.
El Ganso sizes like a Spanish brand. Menswear tops (shirts, polos, knitwear, jackets) run S–XL letters cut on the slimmer, European side — if you're between sizes or prefer an American relaxed fit, go one letter up. Women's tailoring and trousers use EU numeric sizes 34–44, and the sneakers use EU shoe sizes. Because a forwarded order is effectively final (returns route back through Spain), match centimetres rather than habit: open the product's own size chart, measure a shirt or blazer that fits you well, and compare. The table below anchors the conversions US shoppers need most. When in doubt on sneakers, El Ganso's leather uppers don't stretch much — take your larger foot's EU size rather than rounding down.
| Women EU | US | UK | Men shoe EU | US men (approx) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 34 | 0–2 | 6 | 40 | 7 |
| 36 | 4 | 8 | 41 | 8 |
| 38 | 6 | 10 | 42 | 8.5–9 |
| 40 | 8 | 12 | 43 | 9.5–10 |

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.

Straight answers, because this is where forwarding sites usually fudge. Buying from elganso.com to a Spanish forwarding address is a domestic Spanish sale: the 21% Spanish VAT stays inside the euro price and cannot be refunded by us or anyone else — the tourist tax-free scheme needs you personally carrying goods out of the EU with a customs stamp. So the saving is not a VAT trick; it's the Spain store's lower price list (we measured ~30% under the brand's own international view on identical SKUs) plus rebajas depth plus consolidation. On the US side: since 29 August 2025 there is no $800 de minimis — the exemption was suspended for all origins — so US import duty can apply from the first dollar. Duty rates in 2026 remain volatile and litigated, so we don't promise a fixed rate; we estimate your full landed cost — items, forwarding and estimated duty — before your parcel leaves Spain.
Tax note: Spain's 21% VAT is included in elganso.com prices and is not reclaimable when goods ship to an EU forwarding address. The US $800 de minimis (Section 321) was suspended for all origins on 29 Aug 2025; duty can apply from the first dollar and 2026 rates are volatile, so we estimate landed cost before shipping rather than quoting a fixed rate.

El Ganso baskets are friendly to forward: mostly soft, dense apparel that bills at actual weight rather than volumetric. A polo runs about 0.3 kg packed, shirts 0.35 kg, chinos 0.6 kg, a blazer 0.9 kg — so a typical two-or-three-piece rebajas order lands between 1 and 2 kg. The exception is the signature sneakers: boxed leather shoes run 1.2–1.4 kg and their carton adds volume, so pairing them with flat items in one consolidated box is the efficient move. That's the real cost lever overall: send several El Ganso orders (or mix in other Spanish stores) to your free Spanish address, let us hold them up to 60 days, and pay one Spain-to-USA leg instead of a separate international fee per order. Get a live number from the calculator on this page before you check out.
| Item | Approx. packed weight |
|---|---|
| Piqué polo | 0.3 kg |
| Oxford / garment-dyed shirt | 0.35 kg |
| Chinos / 5-pocket trousers | 0.6 kg |
| Quilted jacket | 0.8 kg |
| Blazer | 0.9 kg |
| Striped-sole sneakers (boxed) | 1.2–1.4 kg |
| Typical 2–3 piece order | 1–2 kg |
Weights are typical estimates for planning; couriers bill the higher of actual vs volumetric weight. No delivery-time promises — forwarding time depends on the carrier and service you choose. Verified 28 Jul 2026 — rules change; check your live quote for current rates.
Here's the honest shape of a typical rebajas order — say an Oxford shirt (€39.90), a polo (€49.90) and striped-sole sneakers (~€100 in the sale), about €190 and 2 kg — forwarded from Spain to a US address. Treat it as an illustration, not a quote: your forwarding price comes from the live calculator, and we estimate the US duty for your specific parcel before it ships.
| Line item | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Cart at elganso.com Spain store (21% Spanish VAT included) | ≈ €190 (≈ $205) |
| Resendify forwarding (~2 kg, economy) | from your live quote above |
| US import duty (de minimis suspended; 2026 rates in flux) | estimated per parcel — budget a band, e.g. ~10–20% (~$20–40) |
| Estimated landed cost | items + shipping + estimated duty |

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.”
An order placed on El Ganso's Spain store returns through El Ganso's Spanish channels. From the US that means international postage on your dime and weeks of round trip — workable in an emergency, but the wrong plan. Treat every forwarded order as near-final and spend two minutes de-risking it up front: match menswear letters against a shirt you own (the cut is slim-European — size up if between), match womenswear against the EU 34–44 chart, and take the larger EU size on the leather sneakers. Before we forward, our warehouse photo check confirms you got the right items in the right colour, and if something's off we can help resolve it with the store from inside Spain — far cheaper than discovering the problem in Boston. Check El Ganso's current return window and terms on elganso.com before ordering.

El Ganso's webshop is organised around country stores for Spain, France, Portugal, the UK, Germany and Chile plus a general international view; options and pricing for other destinations vary, and the brand's FAQ notes customs fees on shipments beyond Spain and Portugal are payable by you on receipt. The real catch is price: the Spanish store listed the same shirt roughly 30% below the international store when we checked — and Spain-store prices need a Spanish delivery address. That's what your free Resendify address is for. For El Ganso Spain Ship shipments specifically heading to the United States, our team pre-fills the commercial invoice to streamline clearance.
On the items we spot-checked on 28 July 2026, yes: Pink Oxford Shirt €39.90 vs €59.90 (sale) and €59.90 vs €89.90 (regular); butcher-stripe shirt €45.90 vs €65.90. Prices change and not every SKU will show the same gap, so compare your basket on both store views before you buy.
Preppy Spanish menswear and womenswear with a wink: leather sneakers with the signature two-tone striped sole, patch-pocket blazers, piqué polos, Oxford and garment-dyed shirts, chinos and quilted jackets. The brand says its collections are designed and made in Europe with a growing share of sustainable materials.
Since 29 August 2025 the US no longer waives duty on low-value parcels — the $800 de minimis was suspended — so import duty can apply from the first dollar. Rates are changing and litigated, so we don't quote a fixed percentage; we estimate your landed cost before you ship. Check CBP (cbp.gov) for current rules.
Yes. Order from El Ganso during the rebajas, add Zara, Massimo Dutti or any other Spanish shop, and we hold everything free for up to 60 days at your Spanish address, then pack it into a single consolidated parcel so you pay one international shipment. El Ganso Spain Ship shoppers shipping to the United States frequently consolidate 2–4 orders to cut per-kg costs significantly.
Returns on a Spain-store order run through El Ganso's Spanish channels, so returning from the US means slow, costly international postage. Treat forwarded orders as near-final: El Ganso menswear uses S–XL letter sizing and womenswear EU 34–44, so check the size table on this page and the product's own chart before ordering. Note that El Ganso Spain Ship return windows typically start from your original purchase date, not from when your package arrives in the United States.
