A guide for this piece: about $410, 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.

Parallel case sides frame a rectangular cream dial with elongated Roman numerals and a central railway track.
The Piece
The Must de Cartier signature and dark hands contrast with a brown textured strap and a blue-looking crown cabochon. The original movement designation is hand-wound and the case specification SV925. Most importantly, the individual condition entry explicitly says grade 1, junk or non-usable, despite a deadstock-style headline. The red presentation material and guarantee paper in the final photograph do not establish current running, a factory guarantee or an already completed mechanical inspection.

Condition
Treat as a repair-assessment piece. Original grade 1 is not cosmetic C and does not support an unused or ready-to-wear claim. The actual cause of the non-usable grade is not isolated; case wear and strap ageing remain visible. Historic guarantee wording is not current house or manufacturer coverage. See the Japanese condition ranks guide.
Authenticity & Care
Keep the case and dial dry and away from strong magnets. A qualified watchmaker should check the movement, crown and strap security before regular wear; do not polish away case markings or attempt to clean the dial. No current pressure test or service certificate is represented. Every piece carries the Japonista authenticity guarantee.
Delivery from Japan
Packed with care in Japan and sent by insured, tracked EMS or an equivalent express service. Import duties and taxes, where applicable, remain payable on arrival; ask about destination requirements before arranging delivery.
