So if you want to send/resieve somethink I would suggest it would have to go through France - and not through Germany.

Hello Jens,

at first: Erlikhan has asked about sending and not receiving. Secondly: Also receiving isn't a problem at all, only push daggers and for example butterfly knives get confiscated by german customs as well as knives which don't show that this are knives (pen knives for example). All other blades you can receive in Germany (that's law). Maybe you have had trouble with a katar, this could become a problem (push dagger)!
But I have had once a problem with a sword I've bought from the Philippines and was send via France, the french customs send it back to the Philippines.

I am selling by ebay and never ever have had a problem to send a blade international!

Detlef
