I understand the international postal agreements prohibit the carrying of edged weapons into Italy <snip> by mail, but my enquiries seem to indicate that carriage by couriers such as DHL is perfectly acceptable, provided the relevant permits have been obtained.

I know of 2 EU countries (Denmark and Spain) in which the regular (i. e. formerly national) postal service doesn't allow the shipping of weapons. Other postal services operating in those countries will pose no problems though. To make matters even less predictable, it is often next to impossible to figure out in advance which of several carriers within a given destination country will carry out the delivery of international parcels (differs by country of origin of a given shipment and seems subject to change without notice).
