A guide for this piece: about $145, 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 1990s black leather bomber devoted to Tweety, the script name stitched in yellow and red across the front and the bird's wide-eyed face filling a yellow panel on the back.
The Piece
Tweety first appeared in Bob Clampett's A Tale of Two Kitties in 1942 and won Warner Bros. its first Oscar for animation with Tweetie Pie in 1947. By the 1990s the canary was everywhere, and leather jackets like this one, made under licence in the Looney Tunes heyday, are now prized relics of the decade.
The jacket is cut as a roomy bomber in supple black leather with a navy rib collar, cuffs and hem and a front zip. Across the chest runs a large Tweety script in yellow outlined in red, with a small embroidered Tweety at the shoulder; red and yellow stripes band the upper sleeves. The back is set with a tall yellow leather panel showing Tweety's eyes and beak. Inside, the quilted lining carries the Looney Tunes label with Bugs Bunny, size L.
