Considering ordering a Katana from a company in Australia, no antique or collector piece, a modern user. Price will be about $ 500.00 U.S. currency. Is there a U. S. Customs duty applicable to this purchase?
If so, approximate cost? Is there any problem with importing a Katana? Legality? I've never ordered any types of knifes, blades from outside the U.S.A. before so I am totally ignorant here. Any info would be much appreciated.
 
I've never had any issues or extra costs associated. Bought mine through a popular auction site though from tstrading. Also picked up some direct from China. I think you'll probably be fine.
