A guide for this piece: about $5,276, 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.

An unworn Cartier Tank Francaise Skeleton, reference WHTA0025, in steel, with a skeletonised dial whose Roman numerals form the bridges of a hand-wound movement.
The Piece
Cartier introduced the Tank in 1917, and the Tank Francaise, with its bracelet that flows straight from the case, carries that rectangle into a steel sports-elegant line.
In this reference the dial is cut away so that the Roman numerals become the bridges of the movement, with a small seconds dial at six o'clock and blue steel hands. The crown is set with a blue cabochon and the bracelet closes on a folding clasp.
The case measures 36.7 mm (1.44 in) by 30.5 mm (1.20 in), with the manual-winding calibre 9630 MC giving about 72 hours of power reserve and water resistance to 3 bar. It is unworn and is shown with its red Cartier box, outer box and papers.
