A guide for this piece: about $18, 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 white cotton pocket tee from the Tokyo label glamb, printed across the back with a full-colour ukiyo-e scene of two lovers on a tan ground and finished with a ring of black lettering on the chest pocket. Size XL.
The Piece
glamb has dressed Tokyo rock musicians since 2003, and its graphics tend to borrow from record sleeves and film stills. This one reaches further back. The back panel reproduces an Edo-period print in the intimate, half-hidden manner of the genre: two heads close together, patterned robes in rose, green and grey, a hairpin, a sleeve, and four brushed characters set beneath like a shop sign.
The front keeps its distance. A single patch pocket sits at the left chest with circular English lettering printed over it and a small black tab at its edge, and the woven glamb label is stitched below the back collar. It is a design the label is seldom seen to repeat.
