A guide for this piece: about $1,945, 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 larger-format Hermès Kelly in black leather with a visibly grained surface and gold-tone hardware. The broad body gives the single-handle design a substantial presence, with a warm metallic accent at the fastening.
The Piece
A measured width of about 32 to 34 cm is more useful than an unconfirmed nominal size. A height of 27 cm and a depth of 13.5 cm describe a roomier silhouette than the smaller Kelly formats, suited to daily use.
Black and a visible grain make texture, rather than colour, the principal feature. The specific leather variety and production year are not confirmed, so the description keeps to what can be seen and measured.
