A guide for this piece: about $439, 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.

Fifty Years of the King
Forest Art made its Godzilla jackets for the 2004 anniversary, and this one reads like a commemorative banner: the 1954 date, the lightning, the flames and the title the world gave him. Under Toho licence and made in Japan, it is a character sukajan with real provenance behind it.
Best for: Godzilla collectors; character sukajan wardrobes

A souvenir jacket made for Godzilla's fiftieth anniversary by Forest Art under licence from Toho: navy satin body, ivory satin sleeves and, across the back, the King of the Monsters rising from flame beneath a lightning bolt. Made in Japan.
The Piece
The back leads. Under a red Godzilla wordmark, a green, deeply scaled Godzilla stands with jaws open and a railway carriage clenched in one claw, while orange and yellow flames climb either side. The year 1954 is stitched in lilac across the hips, a yellow lightning bolt cuts the upper back, and KING OF THE MONSTERS! runs beneath in golden script.
On the left chest, a flame-edged patch reads The 50th Anniversary of Godzilla; on the right sits a pale blue capsule motif, and smaller emblems are worked on each sleeve. Collar, cuffs and hem close in navy and white striped rib, and the jacket is lined in bright red quilted polyester. The licence label dates it to the 2004 anniversary, half a century after the original film, and the embroidery treats that date like a commemorative banner.
