Stephen Posted March 30 Report Posted March 30 It's been 20 years since I sent a sword to Aoi art so I'm sure procedures might have changed but back then it was painless sent USPS Express 1 Quote

lonely panet Posted March 30 Report Posted March 30 I took mine in by hand. Declaration at customs and they inform police. You wait an hour or so for them to arrive. There inspected, they contact the person your taking them too and the purposes why. Your issued 48hr licence to transport the sword from narita to said person. Or so the process was from memory 1 Quote

Brian Posted April 2 Report Posted April 2 Makes perfect sense. You arrive and declare it. They give you a limited time permit to transport it to the licensed dealer, who then has a certain time to register it. 1 1 Quote
