A guide for this piece: about $13, 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 Souvenir from Takarazuka
Osamu Tezuka was born in Osaka in 1928 and spent some twenty years, from the age of five, in Takarazuka in Hyogo, and the city opened the Osamu Tezuka Manga Museum as a municipal museum on 25 April 1994, five years after his death. Astro Boy, Mighty Atom in Japan, first appeared in 1951 as a side character in Osamu Tezuka's Ambassador Atom and was given his own series in April 1952 in Kobunsha's Shonen, where it ran until March 1968.
This oval sweets tin, printed with Atom and his friends, comes from the museum shop and is offered empty, with light marks from use. More Tezuka pieces wait on the anime and character shelf.
