jeremy Posted September 5, 2009 Report Posted September 5, 2009 Hi guys, I just sold and sent a katana from Australia to a guy in the States. He lives in Georgia State, and my sword is now held in Los Angeles customs. What would the reasons be that the customs have held the sword for about 4 days now? Are swords restricted in CA? I labeled the sword as "ornamental sword' on the customs sheet. Is there anything I should be worried about? Kind regards, Jeremy Hagop Quote
Grey Doffin Posted September 5, 2009 Report Posted September 5, 2009 Jeremy, I doubt there are any laws in California that would hang up the sword, but even if there were they wouldn't stop the sword at US Customs (a Federal, not State government agency). As long as you have been truthful about what this is and its value you should have no trouble. Grey Quote
