I simply did not add "international" to the end of Priority 
Mail.

Not accurate ... check the International Mail Manual.  Priority 
Mail International insurance limits vary by country.  For example, 
Priority Mail can not be insured to Venezuela and South Africa. 
Priority Main to Great Britain has a $650 limit, Canada a $675 
limit, Germany a $500 limit, etc.  

I've encountered each of those cases within the last month. 

73,
