They actually don't charge the VAT, so the prices are lower than the retail price, but there are import duties applied to your price as well as shipping. For the St. Louis, it is 1040 euros for a GM size special color and you would be charged 870 euros, but add 170 or so for shipping and import duties) It still ends up being cheaper than buying it from either the goyard in SF or Barneys, but closer in price since they wouldn't charge you tax either.

Good to know, thanks!
I emailed the store a couple days back and just got a response this morning. I am a Goyard newbie, so I thought it would be most appropriate to start with the basic colors first and see how the bag wears and then move up to the specialized colors. I was quoted 540 euros + 150 euro shipping for a St. Louis PM. Not too bad, compared to the $1100 + tax at the SF store. I might very likely consider this deal!
