A guide for this piece: about $2,357, 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 black Hermès Kelly 28 with a clean, versatile palette and plainly disclosed signs of use. Its single-handle form gives the piece a composed presence, and the tapered body makes the front fastening a natural focal point.
The Piece
The body widens from about 25 cm at the top to 29 cm at the base, while a height of 21 cm keeps the format compact enough to carry comfortably by hand. The 28 has long been regarded as the most balanced of Kelly sizes.
This example comes with its outer box, which has tears; the packaging should be judged separately from the bag. The exact leather variety and construction are not confirmed.
