A guide for this piece: about $105, 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.

The Piece

The red cloth box is stamped in gold with a dotted cloud and the name Yayoi Kusama. Plain-ground images are catalogue views of the design; the boxed example is the one offered.
