A guide for this piece: about $72, 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 Tailor Toyo TT13844 reversible sukajan in purple and burgundy acetate, with a maiko on the back, reversing to an eagle, size M.
The Piece
Tailor Toyo is named on the collar label, which reads Tailor Hand Embroidery, with a Mount Fuji, a torii and cherry blossoms, and a size tab for Medium. The care label is printed TT13844, and lists an acetate shell and lining, rayon embroidery, and ribs of acrylic and wool. It is also marked Made in China.
The purple acetate side fades toward navy at the hem, with cream sleeves and navy, yellow and cream ribs. Two dragon heads sit on the chest, above slash pockets with cream arrow welts. On the back, the word Japan sits above a woman in a kimono on a bridge, under cherry blossoms, with Mount Fuji at the side. The reverse is burgundy acetate with gold sleeves: two eagles on the chest, and on the back a larger eagle over waves, again with Japan.
