Re: DHL vs EMS
depends,private carriers like Fed Exp,UPS have customs brokers at major airports ,they get advance notice of shipments arrivals and will prefill customs forms so when they arrive,they will clear US customs faster.
USPS does not have this feature,they will take them thru customs and rely on what you declared on the customs forms .
if US customs decides there is customs duty,the postman will bring your buyer the shipment plus asking him to pay a fee plus the customs duty right there before releasing the package,I believe USPS charges $7 plus now.
you can read about it on US customs office website .
