A guide for this piece: about $23, 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 crew neck sweater from Kenzo Paris in navy wool and cotton, a lettered 1970 worked into the chest and a roaring tiger across the back in yellow, white and slate. Size S, in very good pre-owned condition.
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. This sweater says so plainly: the year of the founding is knitted into the front in collegiate block letters, and the tiger, the maison’s best-known emblem since the early 2010s, roars from the back beneath the Kenzo name.
Both motifs are intarsia, worked into the fabric rather than printed upon it, so the surface stays flat and the colours stay sharp. The tiger is drawn in golden yellow with a navy-striped face, red mouth and tongue, and a mane of white fringe that stands slightly proud of the knit. The ground is a deep, even navy in a fine-gauge blend of wool and cotton, finished with ribbed cuffs, hem and neckband, and a small red Kenzo Paris label at the nape.
Measured flat: shoulder 50 cm (19.7 in), chest width 52 cm (20.5 in), length 62 cm (24.4 in), sleeve length 57 cm (22.4 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).
