Helpful Tips

• Always check if your model fits Asian sizing (typically 0.5-1 size smaller than EU/US standards)
• Request high-resolution QC photos
• Consider duty/tax estimates if shipping to EU/UK
• Sign up for alerts on deal trackers

Why Use a Proxy vs. Buying Directly?

Most Chinese shopping sites don't ship sneakers internationally. While Adidas branches may sell this model locally, East Asian markets often get exclusive colorways at better pricing (average 30% savings vs US/EU retail).

Shoe collectors in particular benefit from purchasing via Tmall since China gets early releases of many Neo Green/lifestyle shoes.

Custom Fees Expectations

North America/Oceania shoppers benefit from higher duty thresholds. Typical duty outcomes:

1. US orders under $800: Usually no custom fee
2. EU orders from CN: Subject to VAT & import tax (~20%) - may include in value filing

Loongbuy offers several declaration options to minimize fees where legally permitted.
