A guide for this piece: about $46, 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.

Low-top sneakers from the MMY line of Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A09FW733, in black canvas with white toe caps and laces on the hand-sculpted Original Sole. Marked EU 40.
The Piece
The upper is the canvas court shoe in its most familiar form: black cotton canvas, cream contrast stitching, silver eyelets, a white rubber toe cap and flat white laces. Beneath it, the house lets the base give way. The Original Sole is sculpted by hand so that its sidewalls swell, ripple and slump around the foot, as if the rubber had been warmed and left to settle.
MMY is pressed into the sole at each heel, an MMY label rides on each tongue, and the inner tongue carries the house line "Sublime meets Ridiculous" above the printed reference.
A familiar outline, set gently off balance.
