A guide for this piece: about $3,026, 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 step-through frame and front basket distinguish this Louis Vuitton Bike MM with Damier Graphite details.
The Piece
The material description names PVC and leather for decorative elements, not the entire metal bicycle. That is model-family context, service record or component specification for this actual bike. The handlebar and basket are misaligned. An old suggestion that adjustment would resolve the problem is not a present guarantee.
