A guide for this piece: about $22, 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 pair of Kenzo wingtip brogue derbies in polished black leather, raised on a white platform sole and finished with a tan leather lining. Size 25 cm, unworn, with the original box and dust bag.
The Piece
Kenzo, founded in Paris in 1970 by the Japanese designer Takada Kenzo, is better known for colour and pattern than for tailoring, which makes a shoe this disciplined a small surprise. The wingtip brogue is the most traditional of English forms, and here it is kept faithful: a pointed toe cap, wing panels and fine perforated edging, closed by a four-eyelet lace in black.
The departure is below. In place of a leather sole, the shoe stands on a thick white platform of textured rubber, which lifts the silhouette and gives the dark upper a crisp, graphic outline. The leather has a high, even polish, and the pair reads equally well with tailoring or with casual dress.
Inside, the lining is tan leather and the insole is printed in red with the Kenzo name. The Kenzo name also appears on the outsole, in a raised panel at the waist of the sole. The pair is presented with its original box, lined with black and white striped tissue, and a white Kenzo dust bag.
