A guide for this piece: about $107, 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 three Yayoi-chan plush key chains, volumes 1, 2 and 3, offered together as a set. Each small doll is a portrait of Yayoi Kusama in her red bob, and all three are described as new, with their tags.
The Piece
The dolls differ only in their dresses, each cut from one of the artist's patterns: white dots on red, black dots on pink, and a black net of dots on yellow. The faces are printed with the wide, steady gaze familiar from her photographs, the hair is soft red pile, and the feet are black.
A ball chain rises from the top of each head. The artist's signature is printed in white across the back of each dress, and each doll keeps a card tag in the matching pattern. Seen in a row, they make a small survey of her dots.
