A guide for this piece: about $1,297, 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.

Condition
A+ follows refinishing, but the specifically recorded lapis scratch remains in the condition notes. It is not consistent to replace that qualification with a blanket mark-free statement. The scratch location, any surface treatment, diamond security and present finger fit need in-hand assessment. See Japanese condition ranks.
Authenticity & Care
Avoid heat, acetone, alcohol and other solvents that could affect colour or surface treatments. Ask a gem specialist to assess the stone and setting before cleaning; test any proposed mild method on an inconspicuous area under professional guidance. Store separately from harder gems and protect the exposed blue surface from knocks.
Delivery from Japan
Ask about protective packing, availability and destination requirements before dispatch.
