A guide for this piece: about $309, 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 black lambskin besace with a gold-tone Triomphe clasp at the flap, a zipped pocket at the back and a long crossbody strap.
The Piece
Celine was founded in Paris in 1945 by Céline Vipiana, and the Triomphe clasp is the house’s best-known emblem.
This besace is the messenger shape in soft shiny lambskin: a broad, rounded flap folds over the front, the Triomphe in gold-tone metal sits at its edge, and the back carries a zipped pocket. The inside is lined in a grey suede-type fabric, and the strap runs across the body.
The piece is shown with its measurements.
