Hi jeffrey, I live in perth and have imported nihonto from The US and England. If the value of the sword exceeds AUS$1000 you must pay GST[%10] And a $49.50 recording fee. So if a sword is valued at AUS$1500 you would be up for $199.50. If the value of the sword is less than $1000 there are no fees and no duty. Cheers tony
