Question
i have a possible buyer asking if i will ship a children's set of a dress and a small sweater weighing 1 pound at MOST, probabally like 10 ounces to austrailia.  do i have to fill out customs formms or is international shipping easy?  what is the easiest and cheapest way to ship a small light item?  how much would it cost?

Answer
You don't have to fill out any customs formms to ship internationally. I am not sure which shipping option would be the cheapest, so I would visit the post office, and ask them. Here is a direct link from the post office website.
