Really ? If I send something to US from Norway, I just put a sticker on it for the value and the contents and off it goes...nobody re-packs it or checks anything. That happens when it arrives and not when it is sent, I guess. And to be honest, I just got a 5,3KG box sent from Chicago to Oslo and it did not cost more than $63, which is like one third of what it would have cost me to send it from Oslo->CHicago ...so shipping from US is not really expensive at all :-)
