Import antique knives

How to import to Russia antique sword? What documents and procedures are needed?

[Konstantin]

All, naturally, was not very simply. I asked friends to answer related to the customs. Everything became more complicated here just now. One of the reasons - the recent explosion in a residential apartment, supposedly people made plaster casts of bladed weapons. Displays information - write. In the meantime, see a curious document.

forced Catherine, you upset. but now with the importation of antique weapons oooooooochen difficult. It is why everything is equated with bladed weapons, and not to cultural values and its import should obtain the appropriate permissions in the Interior Ministry.

Yes, interesting question. I also asked the customs officials - no one in the know. From interviews familiar emerges following a vicious circle.
- Some say you need to go to Rosskulturu and get an "object", a saber or revolver certificate stating that the cultural value (ZC).
I calmly go through the border.
And then almost walk on the street with CC Mauser without fear.
- Others say that the certificate of the CC is no use to anybody, but to go to the MVD because all the weapons and podpodaet under the rules of the weapons.
And if you get a CC revolver in the street you'll get problems because you can store, and wear no.

Sergeyitch, right second. Previously, it was really quite Rosskultury. now all only through the Ministry of Interior. So what that the gun 16 th century. All the same, in fact shoots) But what if you go with him to rob a supermarket. Jokes, jokes, and the reason is very simple. Interior Ministry also decided to try on this hot. Not to say that the volume of imports antique weapons in Russia were high. Not more than $ 20-30 million per year, but the Interior Ministry with this had nothing received. All through Rosskulturu prhodilo. Apparently, decided to cover up the shop.
