Please use either USPS or FedEx with tracking. Please do not use UPS or DHL as we had bad experiences (swords got lost). As you are shipping antique pieces, it would be a good idea to insure them.
As the sword is exported from the USA and imported in Canada, you will be required to fill out the reason for export.
The export reason is 'Warranty Repair/Return' ( PLEASE USE EXACT WORDS) and the value is $100 (Note: this is not the value of the item but the cost of work that will be done on the pieces. We are not really doing any work on the pieces so it is actually zero but $0 is not usually accepted by the customs).
Alternately, you can declare the full value and specify that they are antiques older than 100 years. All certification document must accompany.
