I used to send a lot of items Fedex overseas, but I avoid anything other than paperwork these days. UPS and Fedex have entered the business of collecting import tariffs (of which they get a cut) . The rational is it will speed up business shipments since Fedex can act as the customs agent. Unfortunately this catches individuals sending anything overseas in that same net. The Post Offices don't do this, so it is better to send small shipments via the PO.
