In my honest opinion, I wouldn't go with Canada Post. Xpresspost has $100 insurance included, with optional coverage up to $1000. I'm not sure if you're the risky type, but I wouldn't ship something that much without being insured.

 

If you want to ship Xpresspost international, here's the info

Honestly, I would courier it. UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc. You'll be paying much more than Xpost, but you'll get a better service and the option for insurance (probably).

 

They're almost 100% going to be paying Import Taxes as well...
