Would I have usually paid before that occurs?

Currently the sword status on USPS is at Heathrow. Although Parcelforce still stays ‘exported from country of origin’.

I am in the west midlands, near warwickshire, so lets see if that makes a difference.

thats really helpful - i will follow to the letter. you’d think they’d send the customs letter to the address of the parcel! mine is coming from the US so hopefully gets here without undue delay. Will keep everyone ‘posted’, as this may be a question that gets asked again

I hope that doesnt happen! Best of luck - let us know the outcome

Thank you. I will post pictures soon. I’m so excited at the prospect of a possible meet up with everyone when possible

Thanks guys! Is it usually processed quickly by customs?

Hi all I have bought a papered NTHK Nihonto from the United States. Does anyone have experience of the process when the sword arrives at the border - assuming they will ring me to pay the customs charge and will release it to me, but whats the wait time from when it arrives to roughly arriving to me? Thanks!
