Hi everybody
I would like to know some experiences from people in Belgium and close countries (Germany, Holland, France, UK,...), when they imported a sword from Japan. I'm interested in buying a sword from a very known online seller in Japan (AOI). But i'm not certain about importing.
How long will it take until the sword gets here, are we speaking about weeks or months?
Did someone never received their sword, do you always have to pay customs fees, what if customs don't allow it?
And then specifically for Belgium. Do i have do to any registration/paperwork before importing a sword into the country? Or where can i find this information?
I know it's a lot of questions, but i would really like to know. Because this is something i've never done before and it's something that i'm not so certain about, if everything will work out.
Thanks in advance, with kind regards
Olivier A.
And a happy new year to everyone here!
