$37.25 via Parcel Post AirMail. Note the package size restrictions for
Parcel Post: Max.length 79", max. length plus girth 108" (may vary by
country). Ship it insured; this is the only way (via Parcel Post) you can
track down the package if it gets lost. Ask the recipient for the EXACT
shipping address in the correct format.

Be honest on the customs form. I usually enter "LEGO Plastic Construction
Toys #XXX". Put a copy of the invoice (if there is one) in the package with
the set and a copy in with the customs form. Include the recipient's phone
number.

Find a larger (corrugated) box and cut it down to size. Use peanuts or
bubble wrap. Be liberal with the sealing tape on corners, flaps, etc.
Pray.
