I'm in Canada, and I have received stuff from family in US, and they send it USPS cause it's cheaper and we're not in a hurry. With USPS, there's a little green sticker you have to fill out - takes two minutes, max. FedEx is faster, I think they take care of the paper work, and they give a tracking number. You pay the shipping to get it out of the US, and charge the buyer, then the buyer pays his country's VAT, customs, and any other charges his country imposes when it arrives. Oh, yes, insurance. You'll pay that, and charge for it, too. USPS may have limits on how much they cover; I'm pretty sure FedEx will sell you whatever you want to pay for. I would ask the buyer which service they prefer - they are paying for it, after all.
Notice that I haven't mentioned United Parcel Service - they charge the receiver very high brokerage fees, and I never buy from sellers who insist on UPS...
Hope this helps. I guess you'll need to do a bit more web work to get the details on insurance costs and tracking (USPS may have it for higher cost) and delivery times.
