iirc, foldign knives are sorta werd. It really depends on the custom officer's mood that day. There have been report that custom officers will practically dislocate their shoulders in attempt to prove that the knife opens via centrifigual (mind my spelling) force. Safest bet is to order locally and suck up the extra cost, or get your retailer to DISASSMBLE the knife and send it to you as "parts". The other suggestion is to get the retailer to tighten the screws to the point it's hard to open with two hands.

There are some guys at the bladeforums or the knife forums or something like that that have much better experience with this sort of deal with importing folders than me. From what I recall the rule of thumb is multi tools/swiss army's, fixed blades, then folders. Thats the way from easiest to get across the border to hardest.
