A guide for this piece: about $2,710, 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.

Black leather gives this Hermès Birkin 30 a direct, understated presence. The medium format balances a substantial body with the recognisable paired-handle silhouette, leaving proportion and material to carry the design.
The Piece
The nominal 30 is accompanied by measurements of this individual bag: about 29 cm wide, 20 cm high and 15 cm deep. These figures distinguish its true scale from both the compact and the larger Birkin formats.
Black is the classic choice for a first Birkin and the most forgiving companion in daily use. It joins a wardrobe of strong colours as easily as it continues monochrome dressing. The precise leather variety is not confirmed.
