A guide for this piece: about $31, 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 Kenzo Boke Boy sweater in 83% wool and 17% cotton, knitted as a patchwork of bright jacquard squares with appliquéd letters spelling the name across the chest. Size M, style FD55PU3753CO.
The Piece
Kenzo was founded in Paris in 1970 by the Japanese designer Takada Kenzo, and the house has long drawn its energy from the meeting of Tokyo sensibility and Parisian ease. This sweater belongs to the playful side of that story, building a whole garment from colour blocks the way a child stacks alphabet bricks.
The body is divided into a grid of squares in lime, cobalt, red, pink, yellow, navy and brown, some plain and some worked in zigzag and diamond jacquard. Soft felted letters in orange, white, purple and green spell out BOKE BOY across the front and back, with a small yellow and green patch at the shoulder. The crew neck and cuffs are ribbed in stripes of red, blue, yellow and black, and a red woven Kenzo Paris label sits inside the neck. The care label records the composition and a Chinese origin.
Measured flat: length 69 cm (27.2 in), shoulder 55 cm (21.7 in), chest 55 cm (21.7 in), sleeve 64 cm (25.2 in). Every measurement is taken by hand, so please allow a gentle margin of about 1 to 3 cm.
