A guide for this piece: about $1,169, 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 jointed gold bear hangs from elongated chain links on this Pomellato Orsetto necklace.
The Piece
Its rounded face and projecting nose sit above a flat body, with four articulated limbs and small visible joint pins. Paler-looking pins should not be a particular alloy from colour alone. A Pomellato signature is visible on the foot, and the clasp is shown separately with maker and metal marks.
The chain is at 43 cm (16.9 in); the bear measures 2.6 cm (1.0 in) by 2.6 cm (1.0 in), excluding the bail. A2011 guarantee is for the charm specifically, not as proof that the chain was made or first paired with it that year. The 35.2 g mass is for the assembly, not the bear alone.
