A guide for this piece: about $79, 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.

The 2016 A Bathing Ape and Astro Boy full zip hoodie, with the robot's face printed over the hood and the circuitry panels glowing in the dark.
The Piece
Zipped up, the hood becomes Atom's head, with his eyes and hair points printed across it. The body and sleeves carry panels of circuit board drawing that glow pale green in darkness, and A Bathing Ape is printed down the arm. The cotton is black with the brand's small ape head embroidered at the cuff.
Measured flat: length about 65.5 cm, chest 48.5 cm, shoulders 41.5 cm, sleeve 66.5 cm. No conspicuous marks or damage.
A Bathing Ape and Atom
Nigo founded A Bathing Ape in Ura-Harajuku in 1993; its Baby Milo character and camouflage became the label's signatures.
Astro Boy, Mighty Atom in Japan, first appeared in 1951 as a side character in Osamu Tezuka's Ambassador Atom and was given his own series in April 1952 in Kobunsha's Shonen, where it ran until March 1968. Tezuka Productions describes the 1963 television version as the first commercial animation made by Tezuka's Mushi Production and the first Japanese television animation series, broadcast weekly in thirty minute episodes.
More of the label is in the A Bathing Ape collection.
