Imort Cert needs a bit of clearing up

[A Dunne]

 

First post! I'm looking for someone to take a gander at this cert. Google Translate gives me the following result, but I need someone to double-check it as I need a translation for customs.

Is the field marked "inscription" filled with the year?

Hi Adrian, welcome in NMB.
I suppose you already know that document is a tōrokusho  and is not intended to be exported from Japan with the blade (at least if the Japanese law is respected).
Anyway the paper relates to a katana, nagasa (lenght) 63.4 cm, and the document was issued in Reiwa 6 (2024), november 13.

Thanks for the reply. Japanese law very much hasn't been respected. It was included with a sword I bought at auction from Ohio! I needed a translation for customs since it shipped with the sword. Katanas are pretty tightly controlled here in Ireland, so I have to prove this one isn't a replica. I've imported multiple European swords and even a Type 32, but I guess it didn't look Japanese enough, so no alarm bells went off. The part that Google translated as "Delivered on January 3 2013" What is that in reference to? It's the dates they'll be most concerned with.

The translation is totally wrong.

令和6年11月13日交付 – Issued on Reiwa 6^th year (2024) 11^th month 13^th day.

 

It is the date when the registration paper was issued.

The Japanese won't issue (legally) a torokusho for a sword that isn't genuine and traditionally made. By the fact that it has one, that already gives you the indemnity you need for customs.

Thanks for the help guys, that's exactly what I needed.
