Can I bring a sword to the us from Japan? ?

Question:


How would I do it? When i go to Japan I want to purchase a katana or something of that nature. Is it legal to being it to the us? Thanks in advance!

Answer:


These days scanners can detect metal objects and the like in checked baggage so if they find something suspicious, chances are that they would stop you and question you (worse if you don't declare it) I used to watch the Australian border patrol program and they did this a lot (we have to assume the Americans will do the same). You options are: contact the U.S immigration to be certain and declare this always.
