A guide for this piece: about $49, 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.

Tiger Wars Phantom Tiger by the independent maker RX-Nemesis, a soft vinyl figure of about 24.5 cm with a green tiger head, flesh toned body and a black fabric cape.
The Piece
The sculpt pays open homage to the masked heroes and villains of 1970s television, with the bold colour and simple joints of the toys of that decade.
It has been opened; the header and bag are included.
A Studio Figure in Soft Vinyl
Soft vinyl figures in Japan reach back to the 1960s: Marusan, founded in Tokyo in 1947 and remembered as the country's first plastic model maker, introduced vinyl monsters from the Ultra series in 1966. Today small studios design characters of their own in the same material and release them at events and through their own shops; HIDDY, who opened the Harajuku toy shop Secretbase in 2001, has described how the Japanese word sofubi is now used by collectors around the world.
RX-Nemesis designs original heroes and villains in the manner of Showa television; Phantom Tiger, about 24.5 cm with a fabric cape, has been opened and keeps its header and bag. More figures stand on the soft vinyl shelf, and our guide to kaiju soft vinyl from Marusan and Bullmark traces the Showa makers behind the form.
