A guide for this piece: about $254, 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 square-faced G-Shock from the 40th-anniversary Carbon Edition, with carbon case and bracelet in blue, a digital display and solar radio timekeeping, in very good order.
The Piece
Casio introduced the G-Shock in 1983 as a watch able to survive a ten-metre drop, and the line has since grown from a single resin model into a range that includes forged titanium, carbon and ion-plated steel.
The square case descends from the first G-Shock of 1983, and this anniversary version renders it in carbon fibre from case to bracelet, in a blue that looks nearly black until light crosses the weave. The display is digital, with solar charging, radio reception and a Bluetooth link to a phone.
The case measures 48 mm (1.89 in) from lug to lug and 45 mm (1.77 in) across excluding the crown, and the bracelet fits wrists up to about 22 cm (8.7 in). The watch shows no marks of note. The outer box shows peeling, as photographed.
