A guide for this piece: about $188, 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 Hachette build of the Willys MB Jeep, completed with its trailer, towed gun and equipment.
The Piece
The workhorse of the Second World War is reproduced in olive drab with canvas details, jerrycans and tools; the lights work from a switch on the steering wheel.
No conspicuous damage. The wiper comes off easily and will be removed for shipping. Batteries not included.
The Japanese Partwork
DeAgostini, Hachette and Eaglemoss publish their most ambitious build up models in Japan: a car, ship, robot or monster delivered a few parts at a time with a weekly magazine, over two or three years. Japanese editions are known for their scale and engineering, many with lights, sound and moving parts designed by firms such as Kyosho. Completing one takes years and real skill, so finished models in good order are prized by collectors who want the result without the wait.
