A guide for this piece: about $34, 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.

George Condo's Self Portrait in Paris 1, 2017, on an offset poster of 30 x 40 cm, kept unused as a flat sheet and never framed, opened once only to check the contents.
The Piece
Condo paints the self as a collision of parts. Against a hot violet ground, a pale blue ear swings out like a shutter, two round eyes stare from a face split into wedges of grey, salmon and vermilion, and rows of square teeth cut across the cheek. A green jacket anchors the bottom of the picture, scratched through with red and dark green strokes.
The painting itself is acrylic on linen, 65 x 54 cm, as the caption printed beneath the image records, with the artist's scrawled date at upper left. Condo calls this way of working artificial realism: a portrait built from fragments of Picasso, cartoons and old master heads, assembled into something funny and unnerving at once.
The poster was produced for the exhibition George Condo at Cycladic, named in the lower right corner, and reproduces the painting large on a clean white sheet.
