Dont know what DHL charges. USPS is pretty cheap compared to $600. You can pay VAT so that it doesn't get held up. There will be a form you have to fill out with item value etc. If you have paypal then there are discounted rates. Also if you have a tax id # (not social) you can apply for business account and get a huge discount from UPS. Awards
