A guide for this piece: about $71, 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.

Rows of crystals trace the upswept black front of these Swarovski SK6038 sunglasses.
The Piece
The decoration continues along the metal temples before the dark curved tips. Swarovski describes the SK6038 family as inspired by its Sublima jewellery, with a cat-eye acetate frame and pavé-enriched metal temples. The size marking denotes a 56 mm lens width, 17 mm bridge and 135 mm temple, rather than the conflicting rough figures in the measurement text. A stated lens-height figure has inconsistent units and is omitted pending measurement. A yellow case is shown; a cleaning cloth is separately. Fit across the bridge and at the curved tips requires more than the nominal size alone.

Authenticity & Care
Use a clean soft cloth and avoid abrasive household glass cleaners on the crystal decoration. Keep the pair in its protective case rather than loose with keys. Ask an optician to check fit, lens condition and optical protection; the 3N marking is not a fresh transmission test.
