A guide for this piece: about $44, 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 HOUSTON quilted rayon sukajan in Size XXL, the gold back crowded with tigers, white dragons worked along the navy sleeves, and a rose-pink lining still carrying its tags.
The Piece
HOUSTON, the Japanese house known for military and souvenir clothing, issued this jacket as model 51363, a padded souvenir cut with a quilted gold body and navy sleeves.
A pack of tigers fills the quilted back, set among pale clouds, and white dragons are worked along the sleeves. The rib at the collar, cuffs and hem is barred in red, white and black, and the lining is rose-pink rayon. The woven HOUSTON label at the neck reads XX-LARGE; the care label gives the style number 51363, a rayon shell and lining, acrylic rib and a polyester filling. The hang tag is still attached.
