A guide for this piece: about $245, 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 Banksy Years on orange vinyl, in the sleeve of the crowned chimpanzee, from a pressing of one thousand copies.
The Piece
The front is filled by the monarch as an ape, jewels and all, on a target of red and grey, with the title set vertically at the right. The back carries a running rat and printed notes. The inner sleeve is white with a rat on the label, and the disc is bright orange.
There is a mark at the lower left of the back of the sleeve, and marks to the inner sleeve and the disc, shown in two of the photographs.
Sleeves and Stencils
Long before the museum shows, sleeves for small British labels carried stencils by a then little known street artist. Those pressings were made in the hundreds or low thousands, and collectors now pursue them as the most approachable way to own an image printed in the years when the artist was still painting walls at night.
