A guide for this piece: about $45, 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 white long sleeve T-shirt made for Keiichi Tanaami: Adventures in Memory, the retrospective held at the National Art Center, Tokyo. It is printed front, back and on both sleeves, and is described as new and unused in size M.
The Piece
On the chest a many-legged creature in blue rears over a tangle of smaller forms, with the artist's name in black script beneath. The back carries a second composition, a crested mask above a comic-strip burst in yellow and red, and bands of pattern run down each sleeve.
The printing is described as a special process chosen to hold the colour of the paintings as closely as possible. The neck label is lettered Keiichi Tanaami in his own drawn type.
