A guide for this piece: about $59, 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 Hermès Constance belt in its classic reversible form: smooth black leather on one face, grained orange on the other, with the polished H buckle, size 80.
The Piece
The H buckle belt takes its name and form from the Constance bag's clasp, and since the 1990s it has been one of the most recognisable Hermès accessories. Its design is practical as well as iconic: the strap is reversible, so one belt gives two colours, and buckles and straps can be interchanged.
This set pairs a strap in smooth black leather with the reverse in grained orange leather, the house's own colour, with a 3 cm width. The buckle is the full H in a silver-tone palladium finish. The strap is stamped Hermès Paris Made in France with the square-enclosed H date stamp for 2005.
Tagged size 80, it fastens between about 77 and 82 cm, with an overall length of 94.5 cm.
Black side out it is a sharp, discreet belt for tailoring; turned to orange it brings colour to denim and chinos.
