Actually, there may be a problem here. I don't know about lace mailing, but I used to have to mail natural history specimens on loan to researchers at other museums. The law regarded our sending *our* specimens on *loan* outside the country as "exporting" and the return of *our* specimens to *us* as "importing". We were subject to all the rules governing export and import of animals and "animal products", including any duty/tariff and any restrictions based on animal conservation (illegal to import/export endangered species, never mind the specimens have been dead 100 years and are being lent and returned to their original housing). My point is that you'd better check postal regulations before assuming there's no fees (taxes, duty, etc) for sending to another country for exhibit and having it returned to you, it's owner.
