A guide for this piece: about $453, 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 two ounce silver trial strike of the Royal Mint's 2024 Han Solo and Chewbacca five pound coin, graded PF 68 Ultra Cameo by NGC.
The Piece
Han and Chewbacca stand shoulder to shoulder on the reverse, the Wookiee towering over his partner, frosted against the mirror field with the Star Wars logo below. The obverse bears King Charles III and the legend CHARLES III D G REX F D 5 POUNDS 2024.
The coin is 40 mm across and weighs 62.86 g of 999 silver. It is the only trial piece of its type, sealed in a new NGC holder, certificate 8385106-004, with its original box.
Star Wars at the Royal Mint
In 2023 the Royal Mint began a Star Wars series for the 45th anniversary of the first film, striking scenes from the original trilogy on silver and gold beside the new effigy of King Charles III. Before a design goes into production the Mint strikes a very small number of trial pieces to test dies and finishes, and these are not offered with the issued coins. Graded and sealed by NGC, the most widely trusted grading service, they are among the rarest modern British coins a collector can own.
