A guide for this piece: about $32, 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 set of four Heathside Trading Astro Boy and Friends Big-Heads vinyl figures — Astro Boy, Uran, Kimba the White Lion and Unico — each about 10 cm, in window boxes.
The Piece
Heathside Trading issued this line in 2022 for markets outside Japan, under licence from Tezuka Productions. Each figure is a seated vinyl “big-head,” officially 10 cm (about 4 in) high, and comes in a collector window box printed Astro Boy and Friends. The figures are posed seated, with the oversized heads that give the line its name.
The four characters are Astro Boy, in his green belt, black shorts and red boots; Uran, his sister, in a pink dress with a gold collar badge; Kimba the White Lion, in blue dungarees with yellow buttons; and Unico, the blue unicorn with a pink mane. The boxes carry the Tezuka Productions credit and the 10 cm Big-Heads mark. The backs are printed Collect Them All, with a manufacturer’s line for Heathside Trading.
