Cal, I assume you posted this in the Ethno forum because it is not specific to keris even though that is what you mention here and i do agree, if that was your intention, that you will get a broader response here.
From my personal experience i have never had any problem receiving any blades of any length from outside the country due to U.S. customs laws. I live in Ohio, so i am not aware of any specific laws about receiving blades of any particular length based upon Pennsylvania State law, but AFAIK no such law exists in Ohio. Were you informed about this by a member of the U.S. Customs dept. or simply by a friend?
