A guide for this piece: about $367, 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 David in a vest of explosives, issued by Medicom Toy as a statue with a pale stone finish.
The Piece
The figure follows the stance of the Renaissance marble, weight on one leg and hand to the shoulder, but the torso is strapped with charges. The surface is finished to resemble weathered sandstone. It is shown from several sides and with its printed carton.
It is unused. This example is held overseas, so a little longer should be allowed before dispatch.
Sync. and Brandalism
Medicom Toy of Tokyo began its Sync. series with Brandalism to turn famous stencils into objects. The statues are cast in polystone, resin or vinyl, issued in limited runs and often sold by lottery, and the larger sizes left the shops within hours of release.
