Denmark, Finland, Poland and Sweden.
There is no choice for us to put exclude country lists for these
countries. This situation is totally out
of our control, and please understand this before bidding.
If we find alternative way to ship swords to those
countries, we will inform you.

IMPORTANT!!!
<The Procedure of sending
Japanese swords abroad-It takes additional time!>
·
All our swords with hand forged
blade are registered in the Agency for Cultural Affairs as artwork and The
Board of Education(Cultural properties protection Committee); therefore each
sword has the registration card, issued by the Board of Education.
·
After
receiving the full payment of the items, we return the registration card and get
the permission from Ministry of Cultural Affairs to export the swords legally from
Japan. It will take about 14-17 business days to do this procedure.
·
After the receiving the permission,
we will inform you by email and send the items immediately.
Important Notice:
·
We
are not responsible for the problem of custom or post office. As some countries are not
allowed to import swords, because they might be considered swords as weapons. Please confirm whether your country can import
Japanese antique swords and antique goods before bidding/ buying. We cannot refund the money due to this
problem.
·
Again, import duties, taxes and
charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges
are the buyer's responsibility.
· We are not responsible how you handle the swords. Needless to say, the sword has the blade and it is not safe if you don’t know how to handle, especially, if this is the first for you to have the sword. We highly recommend checking how to take care of the swords before receiving the item.
