[Elecraft] USPS shipping rates for non USA

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Be careful doing that.  Some countries do not allow insurance or
set a low value for insurance on Priority Mail shipments.  That
means high value shipments (in some cases more than $200) must be
sent Priority Mail Express (EMS) or one of the couriers in order
to be protected.

International shipping is a snake pit ... not all countries are
as reliable, safe and ethical as the US or Canada.
