I've got my eye on a wall-hanging on ebay, and the US seller does ship internationally. "USPS First Class Mail International" costs less than $9 US to ship to Belize, much to my surprise.

Has anyone ordered anything this way, and if so, how does customs work? Do they open the package? How do they know how much customs to charge? Is the value declared on the exterior of the package by the shipper?

Is it likely that the item will actually get here to me in San Pedro?

Thanks in advance for your insight/experience!
