A guide for this piece: about $70, 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 Undercover Exchange Small Parts modular peacoat, from autumn winter 1998, in dark navy wool with zip-off collar, sleeves and body panels, made in Japan.
The Piece
It presents first as a classic double-breasted peacoat: a dark navy wool body, a pointed collar, a centre zip, and eight Undercover anarchy buttons. The red woven label at the neck reads Small parts, Under Cover, Jun Takahashi. The care label names the shell as 90 percent wool and 10 percent nylon, the lining as polyester, and the origin as Japan.
The zips are the point of the Exchange collection. Collar, sleeves and body panels unfasten as independent parts, and they go back together as a complete coat. The same idea ran through the autumn winter 1998 season, so parts could be exchanged between garments. The cut is a peacoat first, with vertical welt pockets and a vented back.
The printed size on the care label has faded and can no longer be read. Laid flat, the shoulder is 42 cm (16.5 in), the chest 48.5 cm (19.1 in), the length 81 cm (31.9 in) and the sleeve 62.5 cm (24.6 in).
