Received a blade from Japan in the USA, no tariffs

Just wanted to share my experience.
 

I received a blade from a dealer in Japan the other day. It was shipped using the antiques tariff code and passed through US customs on May 2nd. 
 

No tariffs / duties! I honestly had no idea what to expect.

Good to hear, I hope that is the standard and not just a mistake on someone in customs. We'll see what happens when mine comes in.

Werent all tariffs suspended for 3 months? Except china? Or EU?

There is still a base 10% tariff on imports (except for China and Hong Kong at higher rates). The 90-day pause was only for the proposed tariff amounts over the 10% base. For Japan, that was an added 14%, for a total of a 24% tariff.
