A guide for this piece: about $43, 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.

One of EVISU's rarest pocket treatments: a snarling embroidered tiger on one side and a gull traced in baseballs on the other, on dark Japanese selvedge cut to knee length.
The Piece
Hidehiko Yamane's EVISU built its fame on the hand-painted gull, but in the early 2000s the house also produced embroidered pockets, and the tiger is one of the most sought after. Pairing it with a gull made of stitched baseballs, a nod to Japan's love of the game, is a far scarcer variation.
This pair is in deep indigo selvedge denim with a five-button fly, copper rivets and a brown leather patch. The right back pocket carries a tiger's head in gold, white, black and red with fangs bared; the left pocket's gull is drawn in a chain of white baseballs with red stitching. The legs were cut to knee length at some point in their life, and the turned-up cuffs show the selvedge outseams. The label reads 30 x 35, 100% cotton, made in Japan.
