The people I buy from have no way of knowing how much, if any, customs fees I am being asked to pay unless I let them know.

So I'm just curious as to the logistics of your plan. How are you going to incorporate all the customs fees into what the customer pays you? Is there some way that you have worked out with your shippers that the customs fees get billed to you rather than to the recipient?
Matt: Can not speak to all carriers but UPS Worldship software allows you select who pays the fees when you set up the Commercial Invoice, the recipient though would not know this or the amount at least as far as I can discern.
