I am a new LUGger and can add some info to this thread having shipped and received cameras and stuff from all over. My most ambitious project was to ship 300+ 78rpm records and a 1926 RCA wind-up console to Japan. Nominal (approx. $23. on $400) US Customs fees may be charged on incoming new items in current production. This may or may not happen. It definitely helps to clearly mark the *condition* on the customs form: 1 used camera Leica IIIf.... 1 used lens Summarit ..... For articles of value under $500. US postal EXPRESS MAIL is the best buy, with an 800 number for tracking. Never had a problem. For expensive items UPS AIR has the insurance coverage, reasonable prices (about $7.00 a pound) and minimum paperwork. Peace, Myron
