A guide for this piece: about $241, 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 Trotteur shoulder bag in Takashi Murakami’s Monogram Panda canvas, with the panda on the front and the flower-hatted panda on the reverse.
The Piece
Takashi Murakami’s collaboration with Louis Vuitton, begun under Marc Jacobs in 2003, scattered his flowers, cherries and characters across the house’s Monogram and made it one of the defining partnerships of the decade. The Monogram Panda pattern of 2004 placed Murakami’s round-eyed panda and his flower-headed companion directly on the brown Monogram canvas, one character on each side.
The Trotteur is a slim zip-top shoulder bag with a vachetta base and strap. This one carries date code AR0094 and the stamp Louis Vuitton Paris, made in France, and has one interior zip pocket. It shows the honest wear described below and comes without accessories.
