A guide for this piece: about $4,785, 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 Louis Vuitton Petit Panda plush from the 2009 collaboration with Takashi Murakami, numbered within an edition of only 150. Offered unused, with its certificate of authenticity and drawstring pouch.
The Piece
Murakami's panda arrives here as a soft sculpture: wide, glossy eyes ringed in black, with blue irises and concentric pupils, set in a white face. The ears are flowers, one in pink and violet, the other in chocolate and green, and the back of the head is pieced from flowing panels of orange, amber and red, so that the piece changes character completely when turned around. A small red and blue flower sits as a tail.
This is the Superflat sensibility in its gentlest form, the meeting of Japanese pop imagery and Maison craft that defined the Murakami years at Louis Vuitton. Plush editions of this kind were produced in very small numbers, which is why the numbered tag matters as much as the object itself.
