Deliver it to USA.

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.

Be clear-eyed here. The EUR price you see on the French Maison Kitsuné site is shown all-taxes-included — it already embeds roughly 20% French TVA/VAT. Shipping to a forwarding address inside the EU does not, by itself, let a private consumer reclaim that VAT. A tourist/export refund requires you to personally carry the goods out of the EU and get a customs stamp; a forwarder cannot do that on your behalf. So we will never promise a VAT refund through forwarding — anyone who does is misleading you.

The real value is access, not a tax loophole. Maison Kitsuné sits at a similar global list-price band everywhere (a Fox Head sweatshirt is about 190 EUR versus roughly US$200 stateside, a tee about 90 EUR), so once you convert and add US import duty you are buying at comparable money — not a deep discount. What you actually gain by ordering from France is the European store's deepest, most current assortment: full SS26 and Iconics, every colorway, Café Kitsuné-exclusive and region-specific pieces, and the earliest drops the US edit filters or sells through. You buy from the original maison source, at EUR list pricing, with US import duty handled transparently up front rather than hidden.

Here is a realistic, dated example for a typical Maison Kitsuné basket — one Fox Head cotton-fleece sweatshirt plus one embroidered tee, about 190 EUR + 90 EUR = 280 EUR (French VAT already included), shipped to the US. Treat every number as illustrative, not a quote.

Two things changed in 2025-2026 that you must factor in. First, the US $800 de minimis (Section 321) was suspended on 2025-08-29 for all origins, including the EU, so there is no longer a duty-free threshold — US import duty can apply from the first dollar, even on a small parcel. Second, the exact duty rate is genuinely volatile right now (the IEEPA framework was struck down in February 2026, with a temporary Section 122 surcharge layered on normal HTS rates), so we model duty as a 10-20% illustrative band rather than a single fixed rate. Apparel HTS rates are also relatively high, so we estimate landed cost on each order before you ship — use the on-page calculator for your real basket.
