A guide for this piece: about $28, 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.

PPFM gimmick denim in a deep, clean indigo, with a band of gold and black Japanese-pattern cloth across the back waist and long zips running up from each ankle. Size L, from the label's Y2K archive.
The Piece
The waistband dips at the back to reveal a printed panel of traditional Japanese motifs in gold, cream and black, secured with leather tabs and studs. Curved seams sculpt the seat and knees, the pockets are cut in three dimensions with flap and coin details, and long metal zips open each hem for a stacked or tapered finish.
PPFM, Peyton Place For Men, fused Tokyo street styling with Japanese craft references, and this pair shows both sides of the label at once.
