A guide for this piece: about $60, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.
With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

A vintage Chanel counter display plate with white CHANEL lettering on black gloss and gold-tone trim, with a movable front and its original back label.
The Piece
Chanel was founded by Gabrielle Chanel, who opened her first Paris shop, a milliner's, in 1910.
The previous owner says the plate was used on the counter of a Chanel boutique and was never offered for sale. The front is black with the name in white capitals inside a gold-tone frame, and the front is movable.
The back label, in French, states that the object is the property of the Chanel perfume house, cannot be seized, and must be returned complete and in good condition on simple request, and it is marked Création des Parfums Chanel, Paris, France. The photographs show the front, the back with its two foot pads, and the label up close.
