Online store

[JParker]

I want to create an online store (based in Europe but for the worldwide market) dedicated to the sale of swords and knives (samurai, medieval, fantasy, etc.). The warehouse is in USA and my potential clients are from all over the world. Can you tell me if there is any specific law for selling and distribuition of swords and knives, or if there is any special permit or license needed to commercialize these kind of weapons?
Thanks a lot!!

There are many laws regarding the sales of these weapons. Plenty. There are also state laws. You're going to need to research them yourself or pay someone to provide you with that information. As you can understand, the sale of any weapon is likely regulated.

If the warehouse is in the US maybe you should contact them, they may know some of the regulations.

I believe knives 6" and under do not have any regulations but swords, etc. do have various regulations and like posted above each state is different something that's illegal in one state may be ok in another.
