A guide for this piece: about $596, 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 full-size skimboard from the Monogram Escale summer line, natural wood on top with a giant blue LV, and a washed-blue Monogram underside.
The Piece
The Escale line gave the Monogram a softened, dyed finish for summer, and the house carried it from bags onto beach objects. This skimboard has a natural wood top with a large LV and the house signature, and a dark blue underside printed with the washed Monogram.
It is stamped Louis Vuitton Paris, made in Italy, and engraved GI0488 CX0220. It comes with its dust bag and is described in Japan as unused.
The board measures 106 cm in length and 49 cm in width, made of wood in natural tones with blue and white. It was made in Italy for the 2020 Escale line, and comes with its dust bag.
