In years gone by I brought in several swords for son's collection which I didn't declare - before efficient XRay scans. The best was from an outer island with lots of horse teeth & hair attached to the intricately painted scabbard & hilt - sounds yukky but it's stunning.
If you are planning on spending significant $ on swords it might be best to phone Customs. Be sure to take the name of the person you speak to. Swords are weapons & in a different category to utensil knives.
