Shipping Nihonto to Latin America, Is it Possible?


Recommended Posts

So I'll start with the question: have any of the experienced collectors or sellers here shipped to Guatemala or if not other comparable Latin American countries? If so, was it a lot of trouble? What helped, and what worked to get a Nihonto to someone in there?

 

The reason I'm asking is I've got a unremarkable but decent looking wakizashi with decent koshirae and I would like to give it as a gift to an uncle who lives in Guatemala. He's an archeologist, and seems to enjoy that, being very into history. Whenever I'd visit, we'd always spend time looking through history documentaries, or him loaning me rare books, or even gifting me trinkets. Nihonto are something he would like but they're not easy to come by there, so I figure if it's at all possible, maybe I should try and bring one over, give something for a change.

 

When it has come to receiving stuff from Japan or Europe, Fedex has always worked well for me, but I don't know if they will deliver to Latin America. If it at all will help me, I have copies of the Torokusho and Japanese export paperwork for the sword in question.
