A guide for this piece: about $28, 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.

Captain Atom
Astro Boy, created by Osamu Tezuka in 1952 and animated for television in 1963, is the character from which the whole tradition of Japanese animation descends. Kenelephant produces the collection with Tezuka Productions, choosing moments from the original manga in place of the familiar television look.
