Just came back from the post office, where I went after an hour or so of struggles to complete the customs declaration form via Fedex for 12 ozs. of documents, but failed and which was going to cost me $ 76 .
But US Overseas Express mail ( delivery in seven business days) did NOT require any customs declaration for documents and cost just $ 27. I even had the customs declaration form filled out before I approached the postal clerk's window. He just tore that apart, as he did the Certified Mail receipt. That WAS a positively good experience at a govt. office :-).
