UPS does seem to handle customs clearance and they make you pay for it if you don't have your own clearance broker. Last time (several years ago) I had something sent from US to Canada via UPS they wanted to hit me up for $45 in fees. I refused the item and had it reshipped via USPS. UPS may be a faster way to get something than if it was shipped via the local post office but if the parcel crosses a border you have to be aware you may be in for an additional fee from UPS related to customs clearance. -- Cheers!
