I just got back from the post office where I mailed 5 books internationally and it cost me over $30! Whew! I mailed 4 of the books, which were either trades or RABCK's through surface mail and the clerk told me it could take up to 8 weeks. The fifth book was in a bookring and I didn't want it to take 8 weeks to get there, but it was quite a bit of difference in the payment. I guess it's your call. Either way, you're still shipping internationally and fulfilling your duty.

You can ship it surface. You'll need the short customs form (it's green and white).
