Import Tips
• Provide military surplus certification and ensure no live ordnance; comply with ITAR if of U.S. origin re-import
• Label as 'bayonet with sheath' and declare blade length accurately to avoid misclassification as a general knife
• Inspect for reproductions vs originals; authentic WWII pieces may qualify for collector exemptions
