I agree, David, That is why I told them just to label it something more broad like Asian sword....or heck you could label it Thai sword...African sword...etc...unless any forum members work in customs I doub't they would know the difference :P I've had several swords shipped from abroad to the US...many labeled "Burmese Dha or Burmese sword...or Antique sword" without any problems....I was just surprized when this seller mentioned it to me about this ban...and I found the above link on the net.
