A guide for this piece: about $29, 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 reversible sukajan made for Karl Helmut's twentieth anniversary with Disney, with Mickey and Donald riding a great wave on one side and a varsity K on the other.
The Piece
Karl Helmut was launched in 1985 by the designer Isao Kaneko as the menswear line of Pink House, the Tokyo label he founded in the early 1970s, and it became known for stadium jackets, patches and bold aloha prints that borrowed the bears, flowers and reds of the women's line.
On the black quilted side, Mickey and Donald ride the curling crest of a great wave in the manner of Hokusai, with a lifebuoy, signal flags along the hem and the stitched words We have fun together all the time. Two Mickey heads are embroidered on the chest.
Reversed, it becomes a cream varsity style blouson with navy and white ribs. A chenille K patch on the chest reads Blame it on my youth, 20th Anniversary, since 1985, and Mickey stands on the back.
