A guide for this piece: about $54, 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 nine-cube wooden picture puzzle from Gucci, made for the renewal of the Ginza flagship in the Alessandro Michele years and shown here assembled as the early G. GUCCI & C. label of Florence. Kept in fine order, with its box.
The Piece
Of the six pictures these blocks can build, this is the most archival. It reproduces a paper label from the first Gucci shop on Via della Vigna Nuova, naming Guccio Gucci as director and proprietor and promising English luggage and fine articles for gifts. Michele liked to quote the founding years, and the label appears across his collections.
Turn the cubes and the mood changes. Edges visible in the photographs show the violet and rainbow of the flying saucer face, the yellow of the tiger and the green and red of the house Web stripe waiting on the other sides. Assembled, the puzzle sits as a low square block.
