The amount of (commercial shippers) CUSTOMS paperwork and varied regulations to comply with each countries laws takes an expert and many minutes MORE to process than interstate shipping does.
This is not the same as the tiny form you fill out at the Post Office when you send a gift. Get the Harmonized code wrong and your package hangs at either end while they decide on additional duties or impound it as contraband.
You don't get to use "Generic" forms. Names and addresses, descriptions, costs, codes must be entered in the proper places on each form. The forms must be signed by the shipping clerk that prepared the shipment and multiple copies attached. Commercial vs Gift.
