A guide for this piece: about $59, 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 poster for Jeff Koons at the Ashmolean, the Oxford museum's 2019 exhibition, showing Seated Ballerina, 2017. An A2 offset sheet of 59.4 x 42 cm, an unused example.
The Piece
The ballerina leans forward to adjust her slipper, cast in mirror-polished steel with a skin of transparent colour: gold hair, a blue bodice, rose-tinted limbs. Koons took the pose from a small porcelain figurine and enlarged it until the surface reflects the whole room. On the sheet she fills the right side from top to foot.
To her left, the artist's name stands in tall pink capitals over the words At The Ashmolean in black, with the museum's title at the head and booking details for 7 Feb to 9 Jun below. It is a British museum poster and uncommon in Japan. At A2 it is the smallest and most easily framed sheet of the group.
