A guide for this piece: about $6,402, 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.

The Hermès Kelly Doll in orange Gulliver leather: a small Kelly turned into a smiling figure, with stitched eyes, a grin, arms and feet in dark brown leather.
The Piece
The Kelly Doll, also known as Quelle Idole, is one of the most playful Hermès designs. A small Kelly becomes a character: the flap is a face, with two silver studs for eyes under brown brows, the turn-lock as a nose and a brown smile across the front.
Short brown leather arms hang from the sides and brown feet are set into the base. The top handle and turn-lock work as on a full-size Kelly.
It is made in orange Gulliver calfskin with silver-tone hardware, and the orange leather interior is heat stamped Hermès Paris Made in France.
Reserve this piece: at this value it is invoiced privately, by bank transfer with 3% off or by Wise.
