A guide for this piece: about $285, 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 vintage Hermès Paris bomber jacket printed edge to edge with a plumed archer on horseback, in royal blue, gold and ivory, framed by the house name. Made in France, tag size 50.
The Piece
Hermès made its name on the printed square, and here the square becomes outerwear. The jacket takes the cut of a classic bomber, with a black ribbed collar, cuffs and hem, and a centre zip, then wraps the body and sleeves in a single scarf-like composition.
On the back, a bold gold border carries the words HERMES PARIS above a white field in which a rider in a golden coat draws a bow, his horse dappled and caparisoned, with feathered streamers of red, white and blue fanning behind. A band of lettering runs along the lower edge, and the royal blue ground is scattered with tiny red and white flowers. The pattern continues across the front and down the sleeves, so that the figure appears again and again as the wearer moves.
It is a lively, sculptural piece, equally at home worn open over a plain knit or hung on the wall as a textile.
