Kevin Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 Apparently new rules were introduced on January 1 2011: New customs requirement All High Value exports January 1 2011 HM Customs MOU - Strategic Export (LIC99) procedures. Certain High Value export commodities require a UK export licence (these include as an example IT equipment, printed matter, paintings). If no export licence is required the Shipper needs to endorse this on the invoice or provide a statement on letterhead confirming the items being exported do not require a licence. Check if exports require a licence at http://www.bis.gov.uk/policies/export-c ... ganisation Now, nihonto don't need an export licence - leastways when I entered in a variety of search terms covering the topic, nothing was found - but you'll have to put that you don't need a licence if you are sending a nihonto to someone overseas. I know - more hogwash, but I figured UK collectors might like to know. Kevin Quote
