If UPS (or whoever) asks
what you are mailing, tell them its contract papers (technically, this is
true).  They shouldn't give you any hassle about it.  (On the off chance
that they do, tell them its private, and if they STILL bother you, remind
them that they don't have a search warrant.)

They really don't need a search warrant.  I worked for a major worldwide
express company and we (and the other services) could inspect any package
without any kind of search warrant if we deemed it necessary (and 'necessary'
means different things to different people).  We were actually required to
visually inspect the contents of every document or package that was sent from
an "unknown shipper", that means just about every John Doe who wants to
send 'contract papers' overseas.  Companies like UPS are held responsible for
what they ship overseas.  If they break any laws (even if they don't know
they're doing so) they are heavily fined and in serious trouble of loosing the
ability to ship to that country.  International trade is a serious matter and
it's best to go about it the legal way, trust me.
