\u00a0To legally ship an aut<\/span>hentic Japanese sword from Japan to another country, we will have to apply for its export permit to the Agency for Cultural Affairs(Bunkacho). We also must return the original registration paper to the Board of Education. It usually takes around 2-4 weeks<\/strong> to receive this permit after submitting the required documents. And we would like you to expect at least 1-1.5 months<\/strong> for your order to arrive at your given address after you ordered.
