A guide for this piece: about $1,508, 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 vintage Hermès Kelly 32 in black leather, identified with a circle C stamp and a 1973 date. The measured, single-handle form places the emphasis on silhouette, proportion and the individual condition of the piece.
The Piece
The historical date gives this Kelly a different collecting context from a recent example, but age alone is not a substitute for assessing the bag itself. The recorded measurements are approximately 29 cm wide, 23 cm high and 12 cm deep; the nominal 32 designation is retained separately. The leather variety is not specified. Review the seven photographs together to judge surface wear, structure and finish.
