A guide for this piece: about $15, 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 fitted cap from the collaboration between Kenzo and New Era, covered in leaping tigers in blue, amber and cream, with the house name raised in embroidery across the front. Size 6 7/8, and in good condition.
The Piece
Kenzo was founded in Paris in 1970 by the Japanese designer Takada Kenzo, and the house has long drawn its energy from the meeting of Tokyo sensibility and Parisian ease. The flying tigers that cover this cap come from that vocabulary, a pattern in which the beasts tumble across the fabric against waves of blue, orange and white, so that no two views of the crown are quite the same.
The cap is the 59FIFTY, New Era’s classic flat-peaked fitted model, here finished with the word Kenzo in raised orange-red embroidery on the front and Paris on the side. The inside is lined in white, with the black New Era taping at the seams and a dark underside to the peak, which keeps the busy print from overwhelming the face.
The size is a fitted 6 7/8, equal to 54.9 cm, and so suits a smaller head or a more compact fit. A cap of this kind is an easy way to bring the house tiger into everyday dress, and its bright palette lifts a plain grey or black outfit at once.
