I follow my prior post, I have found there is not necessary any export permission for nihonto from most of EU countries. Czechia is an exception. So, if we export out of Czechia, we need to get a formal export permission by VHU (Museum). It takes about 3 weeks and then it is not a problem to send swords by post or DHL or to bring them abroad.

Please, do you have any experience with exporting sword out of Europe Union? I have checked with DHL customs agent and they told me I may need an export licence to export a Japanese sword, because it was made before 1950 and it might be an item of an important cultural value.. But he was not 100% sure, whether it really is such an important cultural item or not...
