A guide for this piece: about $992, 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 Hermès single-breasted coat in black sheep fur, worn with the soft pile outside, with calfskin details and a cupro lining, made in France, size 50.
The Piece
Hermès began in Paris in 1837 as a harness maker, and its ready-to-wear has always leaned on the same idea: the best material, cut plainly and finished by hand. This coat is a good example, a classic chesterfield shape in one of the warmest materials there is.
The coat is made of black sheep fur with the dense, soft pile turned outward, so the whole surface has the look of a deep plush. It is cut long, with a soft collar, a single-breasted front with dark four-hole buttons and flap pockets at the hips. The back is plain and falls straight.
Inside, the coat is lined in black cupro, with calfskin details and a cotton drawstring. The Hermès label, with the carriage and horse, sits on a stitched leather patch below a Made in France tag, and the composition label gives size 50.
