A guide for this piece: about $90, 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 reversible tour jacket from Kenzo, lustrous grey on one face and soft lilac on the other, each side carrying its own embroidered characters. Size M, with a zip front, elasticated hem and cuffs, and the house label intact.
The Piece
Kenzo was founded in Paris in 1970 by the Japanese designer Takada Kenzo, and the house has long drawn its energy from the meeting of Tokyo sensibility and Parisian ease. The Boke Boy jacket belongs to that lineage of playful, graphic dressing: two jackets in one, each with a distinct personality.
The grey face is the quieter of the two, trimmed with black tape down the sleeves and bearing a yellow gloved hand and a bunch of flowers gripped in a fist on the front, while a grinning red flower is embroidered across the back. Turn it inside out and the lilac face takes over, with Boke Boy spelled in colourful building blocks on the chest and KENZO in matching block letters across the shoulders.
The collar is a soft turn-down, the hem and cuffs are gathered in elastic, and the fabric has the fluid sheen that makes a tour jacket so easy to wear open over a plain tee. Measured flat: shoulder 52 cm (20.5 in), chest width 65 cm (25.6 in), sleeve length 64 cm (25.2 in), length 70 cm (27.6 in). Every measurement is taken by hand with the piece laid flat, so please allow a gentle margin of about 1 to 3 cm (0.5 to 1 in).
