What US shoppers gain on schoeffel.com
Schöffel has been family-run in Schwabmünchen, Bavaria since 1804 — eight generations of technical ski and hiking wear, an early Gore-Tex adopter back in 1983, and today the maker of VENTURI shells, RECCO-equipped ski jackets and the ZipIn! 3-in-1 jacket system. In the US, only a narrow selection reaches shoppers through the UK-run Schöffel Country storefront. The complete German catalog — ski, ski touring, hiking, trekking, bike, the CIRC circular line and Outleisure daily wear, plus short and long German size cuts — lives on schoeffel.com, together with 30% seasonal sales and a 40–50% Outlet. A German forwarding address opens all of it. 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.
What to actually buy on schoeffel.com
Start with what never reaches US retail. Schoeffel.com carries the complete Bavarian catalog — ski, ski touring, hiking, trekking, bike and the Outleisure everyday line — while the US storefront (run by the UK's Schöffel Country) stocks mainly countrywear plus a small ski selection. The pieces worth forwarding are the technical ones: ski shells and insulated jackets like Skuta, Lufeld, Pontre and Safuna (€149.95–699.95 on the German site, many with VENTURI climate fabric, Dermizax EV membranes and RECCO reflectors), ZipIn! outer jackets with matching fleeces that zip together into a 3-in-1 system, and hiking pants cut in German short and long sizes no US size chart offers. Time your order around German markdowns — the site was running a 30% summer sale and a 40–50% Outlet when we checked — and remember prices are in EUR with 19% German VAT already included. Consolidate jacket, fleece and pants into one parcel and run a quote before checkout.
- Ski jackets and shells — Skuta, Lufeld, Pontre, Safuna: €149.95–699.95 in the German shop, with VENTURI, Dermizax EV and RECCO tech
- ZipIn! outer jackets + zip-in fleeces (Toledo, Oberau) — buy both halves of the 3-in-1 system in one order
- Hiking and trekking pants — including short (21–33) and long (86–130) German cuts US retail never stocks
- CIRC circular-design line — tees from €29.95, shorts €89.95, pants €99.95–149.95
- Outleisure parkas, down jackets and winter coats for everyday wear
- Sale and Outlet — 30% seasonal markdowns and a 40–50% Outlet section, all in EUR

Schoeffel.com stops at the German-speaking border. Here's the fix.
No US delivery — verified
Schöffel's own shop FAQ lists exactly three delivery countries: Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Enter a US address at schoeffel.com checkout and the order simply cannot be placed.
The US sees only a slice of the range
Stateside you'll mostly find the UK-designed Schöffel Country countrywear line in USD. The deep German catalog — hiking, trekking, bike, ZipIn! and most ski styles — never crosses the Atlantic.
German Sale and Outlet don't reach US retail
Schoeffel.com was running a 30% summer sale and a 40–50% Outlet section when we checked, all in EUR. Without a German address, US buyers are left hunting resellers and eBay listings instead.
Schöffel sizing for US shoppers: German numbers, plus short and long cuts
Schöffel sizes everything in German numerics: men 42–66 (roughly XXS–8XL) and women 32–54, based on body measurements taken loosely without shoes. The detail worth knowing is the short/long system US retail rarely offers: short sizes (men 21–33) are the regular size halved — a short 25 fits like a regular 50 with a shorter inseam (69–86 cm vs 73–90 cm) — and long sizes (men 86–130) roughly double the number for taller frames, with inseams stretched to 77–94 cm. If trousers always bunch at your ankles or ride short, this system is the reason to buy German. As a rough conversion, a German men's 50 corresponds to about a US 40 chest, but Schöffel publishes exact chest and waist centimetres per size, so measure yourself and match the table rather than guessing. Returns from the US are effectively off the table, so sizing right the first time is the real money-saver.
- Men's regular sizes 42–66; women's 32–54 — matched to body measurements, not US vanity sizing.
- Short sizes (21–33): the regular number halved, same chest/waist, shorter inseam — worth trying if you're under ~5'8" / 173 cm.
- Long sizes (86–130): roughly double the regular number, inseam 77–94 cm — for frames over ~6'2" / 188 cm.
- When in doubt, match Schöffel's published chest/waist centimetres instead of converting from your usual US size.
| Schöffel (DE) | US men's (approx.) | Alpha |
|---|---|---|
| 46 | 36 | S |
| 48 | 38 | M |
| 50 | 40 | L |
| 52 | 42 | L/XL |

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 duty: the honest version
We'll be straight with you. Schoeffel.com prices include 19% German VAT, and when your order delivers to a German forwarding address that VAT stays in the price — it is a domestic German sale, and neither we nor anyone else can reclaim it for you. The tourist tax-refund route requires you to personally carry goods out of the EU with a customs stamp, which a forwarder cannot do. Anyone promising a VAT refund through package forwarding is misleading you. What you do get is access: the full Bavarian catalog, German Sale and Outlet pricing in EUR, and short/long size cuts that simply are not sold in the US. On the US side there is no federal VAT — only customs duty. Since the $800 de minimis exemption was suspended on 29 Aug 2025, duty can apply from the first dollar, and 2026 rates remain volatile, so we estimate your full landed cost — items, forwarding and estimated duty — before your parcel leaves Germany.
Germany's 19% VAT is included in schoeffel.com prices and is generally not reclaimable when goods ship to a German forwarding address. The US $800 de minimis (Section 321) was suspended on 29 Aug 2025 and 2026 duty rates are volatile, so we quote estimates, not fixed rates.

What it costs to ship Schöffel gear from Germany to the USA
Your forwarding price tracks weight — and with outdoor gear, volumetric (dimensional) weight matters more than the scale. A ZipIn! fleece or a pair of hiking pants is light and packs flat, but an insulated ski jacket weighs around 1.2–1.6 kg and can bill at 3–4 kg volumetric in a roomy box; down pieces are even more volume-driven. Couriers charge the higher of actual versus volumetric weight, so the smart play is consolidation: schoeffel.com ships to our German warehouse from €3.95 domestic, we hold your parcels free for up to 60 days, and we can compress several orders — jacket, zip-in fleece, pants, plus anything from other German shops — into one tightly packed box. One box also means a single international shipping charge and a single US customs entry. Run your exact pieces through the quote calculator on this page for a live price band before you commit at checkout.
- Consolidation is the real saving: several German orders arrive free or cheap at your German address, then travel as one weight-based international parcel.
- One box = one US customs entry; the $800 de minimis ended 29 Aug 2025, so we estimate duty on the full consolidated value before you ship.
- Storage is free for up to 60 days — order the ski jacket in the sale now, add the fleece later, ship once.
| Schöffel item | Approx. weight |
|---|---|
| ZipIn! fleece | 0.4–0.6 kg |
| Hiking pants | 0.4–0.6 kg |
| Softshell jacket | 0.6–0.8 kg |
| Hardshell / shell jacket | 0.6–0.9 kg |
| Ski pants | 0.9–1.2 kg |
| Insulated ski jacket | 1.2–1.6 kg actual (~3–4 kg volumetric) |
| Down parka | 0.9–1.2 kg actual, high volumetric |
Weights are typical planning estimates only; couriers bill the higher of actual vs volumetric weight and the parcel cap is 30 kg. US import duty can apply from the first dollar since the $800 de minimis was suspended on 29 Aug 2025; we estimate your landed cost before you ship.

A real landed-cost example (Schöffel Germany → USA)
Here is roughly what a typical schoeffel.com winter order costs delivered to a US door in 2026. Treat it as an illustration, not a quote — your real forwarding price comes from the calculator above, and we estimate the US duty for your specific parcel before it leaves Germany.
- Buy in the German Sale or Outlet (30–50% off) and the landed total often still compares well against full-price US listings of technical shells — but compare your exact style before ordering.
- We estimate your full landed cost (items + forwarding + estimated duty) before you commit to ship.
- Consolidating jacket, fleece and pants into one box spreads the shipping cost across more items.
| Line item | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Cart at schoeffel.com (ski jacket €299.95 + ZipIn! fleece €79.95, 19% German VAT incl.) | ≈ €380 (≈ $415) |
| Resendify forwarding (economy, ~2 kg incl. volumetric) | from your live quote above |
| US import duty on apparel (2026 — rate in flux, budget a band) | ≈ 10–20% of value (~$42–83) |
| Estimated landed cost | items + shipping + ~$42–83 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.”
Schöffel returns: 14 days free — but only inside DE/AT/CH
Schöffel's return policy is generous where it applies: all items can be returned free of charge within 14 days of receipt, with original labels attached and in the original packaging, to its returns facility in Osnabrück. The catch for US buyers is that this free-returns machinery only operates within Germany, Austria and Switzerland — the only countries the shop delivers to. Once your parcel has crossed the Atlantic, sending an item back means paying international postage to Germany yourself and staying inside the window, which is rarely worth it for a fleece. So treat every schoeffel.com order as close to final and put the effort into sizing before you buy: Schöffel publishes exact chest, waist and inseam centimetres per size, and its short (21–33) and long (86–130) cuts solve most fit problems that would otherwise trigger a return. If you're between sizes on an insulated piece, the practical German habit is to size for the mid-layer you'll wear under it.
- Window: 14 days from receipt, free of charge — but the free-return system covers DE/AT/CH only.
- From the US, a return means paying international postage back to Germany yourself — plan each order as near-final.
- Prevent returns instead: match Schöffel's published body measurements and use short/long cuts for inseam fit.

Buying from Schöffel Germany and shipping to the USA
No. Schoeffel.com delivers only to Germany, Austria and Switzerland — its own FAQ confirms it. A limited Schöffel Country and ski selection is sold in the US via schoffelcountry.com, but the full German catalog is not. With a free Resendify German address you shop schoeffel.com like a local and we forward the parcel to any US address.
Partly. Schöffel Country — a UK-designed countrywear line created in Oakham, England in 1993 — runs a US storefront with countrywear and a ski selection. It's a different catalog from the Bavarian technical range on schoeffel.com: the hiking, trekking, bike, ZipIn! and most ski lines aren't part of it.
German numeric sizes: men 42–66, women 32–54, plus dedicated short sizes (men 21–33) and long sizes (men 86–130) with adjusted inseams — a size system US retail rarely offers. As a rough guide a German men's 50 is about a US 40 chest; check Schöffel's own measurement chart before ordering.
Probably yes. The US suspended its $800 de minimis exemption on 29 Aug 2025, so import duty can apply from the first dollar. 2026 rates are still changing, so we estimate your landed cost — item, shipping and estimated duty — before you ship. Check cbp.gov for current rules.
Yes. Order a ZipIn! jacket and fleece from schoeffel.com, add pieces from any other German shop, and we hold everything free for up to 60 days before combining it into one parcel — one international shipping charge and one customs entry instead of several. For Schoffel Germany Ship shipments specifically heading to the United States, our team pre-fills the commercial invoice to streamline clearance.
Schöffel gives 14 days of free returns, but only within Germany, Austria and Switzerland with the original labels attached. From the US, returning means paying international postage back to Germany yourself, so treat each order as near-final and nail the size first — Schöffel's short and long cuts help a lot. Note that Schoffel Germany Ship return windows typically start from your original purchase date, not from when your package arrives in the United States.
