A guide for this piece: about $11, 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 charcoal grey crew neck sweatshirt with the girl and her red balloon printed small at the hem, from the Brandalised label.
The Piece
The print sits low on the front, to one side: the child in white reaching up, the heart shaped balloon drifting away in red. The rest of the body is left plain, which gives the picture room. A short line of text and the label name are printed below the back of the neck.
It is marked size M and still carries its swing tags. Measurements were not recorded; the Desk will confirm them on request.
There Is Always Hope
Girl With Balloon was first stencilled on the steps of Waterloo Bridge in London in 2002, with the words there is always hope written nearby. It has been voted the best loved artwork in Britain. Brandalised is a clothing label that prints street images under licence from the photographers who recorded them; its garments are not made or endorsed by the artist.
