Import Tips
• Specify if battle-ready or stage prop to guide valuation; use padded shipping for fragile historical replicas
• Include material specs (e.g
• 5160 spring steel) and avoid generic 'toy' labeling which could trigger reclassification
• For EU imports, check REACH compliance on leather and metal components
