A guide for this piece: about $237, 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.

The 2001 Taira Racing official Star Wars riding-gear leather stadium jacket, the Darth Vader type, unused with its tags and box, in size M and made in Japan.
The Piece
In the spring of 2001 Taira Racing issued a Lucasfilm-licensed riding-gear line in three types: Darth Vader, Stormtrooper and Boba Fett. This is the Vader jacket. The body is red cowhide, the sleeves black, the rib orange, with a Star Wars chest patch, an Imperial emblem on the sleeve, and a large embroidered Vader on the back above the lettering Darth Vader. The snaps carry the Star Wars mark.
The care label names a cowhide shell and a polyester lining. The hang tag is from the Official Star Wars Web Shop, and the box is labelled Y's Gear, made in Japan, size M. The jacket has been tried on only. The tags and the box are still with it.
Laid flat, the shoulder is 55 cm (21.7 in), the chest 60 cm (23.6 in), the length 63 cm (24.8 in) and the sleeve, measured from the shoulder, 57 cm (22.4 in), or 47 cm (18.5 in) from the underarm. Allow a small margin on hand measurements.
