A guide for this piece: about $39, 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 Vivienne Tam dress in printed power-net, with peonies and a pavilion across the cloth, a China collar and a blue silk sash. Style 016-140108, a tag size 1, made in Japan.
The Piece
Vivienne Tam has long worked Chinese dress into a modern line, and this one is cut in nylon power-net, with silk at the bindings and a lining of nylon through the bodice and polyester through the skirt. The print runs all over: peonies against a pavilion and a warm ground, with a darker border at the hem.
The collar stands, with a keyhole at the throat and a hook at the chest. The sleeves are three-quarter. A zip sits at the side. A separate blue silk sash is included and may be tied at the waist. The label reads Vivienne Tam; the care label gives style 016-140108, size 1, a bust of 87 cm (34.3 in) and a height range of 162 to 166 cm (63.8 to 65.4 in), and manufacture in Japan.
Tag size 1. Measured flat: length 100 cm (39.4 in), chest width 36 cm (14.2 in), shoulder 37 cm (14.6 in), sleeve 38 cm (15.0 in).
