A guide for this piece: about $72, 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 clockwork tin Mighty Atom, made in Japan for the NTT Thanks Fair, unused and still in its box. The toy is made to walk when wound, and it comes as it was stored after display.
The Piece
Mighty Atom, known overseas as Astro Boy, stands here as a lithographed tin walking figure, with the familiar tuft of hair, a green belt and red boots, just as the box lid shows him. The box names the NTT Thanks Fair and carries the English title Mighty Atom. It is a promotional edition, made in Japan, of a form that tin-toy collectors know well. The lithographed tin still has a bright finish, and the box lid shows the figure in mid-stride, with the NTT Thanks Fair title along the lower edge.
The figure is unused. It was displayed and then kept in the box. There is a small mark and a little dirt on the right shoulder, and the box shows mild age from long storage, without breakage.
