A guide for this piece: about $76, 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.

Dino Fighter The Sabretooth by the studio Kaiju One, a blue sabre toothed beast carrying an armed rider, from the release sold through Hakaba no Garou and described as unused.
The Piece
The cat is sculpted in metallic and pale blue with red claws, gold blades along its flanks and a cannon mounted on the saddle, where a small robot pilot sits.
It was bought from the online shop of the gallery.
Beast and Rider
Soft vinyl figures in Japan reach back to the 1960s: Marusan, founded in Tokyo in 1947 and remembered as the country's first plastic model maker, introduced vinyl monsters from the Ultra series in 1966. Today small studios design characters of their own in the same material and release them at events and through their own shops; HIDDY, who opened the Harajuku toy shop Secretbase in 2001, has described how the Japanese word sofubi is now used by collectors around the world.
Kaiju One, a Hong Kong studio, pairs prehistoric animals with machine riders in its Dino Fighter line; this blue Sabretooth was a Hakaba no Garou release from the Tokyo gallery's online shop, new and unused. More figures stand on the soft vinyl shelf, and our guide to kaiju soft vinyl from Marusan and Bullmark traces the Showa makers behind the form.
