thanks donna and chiri!
as for the customs fees...im not sure. i just emailed the shipping company to see if there is a way for them to find out the fees (if any) and let me know because i would want to pick up the tab for that.
as for the inventory in the parcel...i itemized everything in a detailed letter to customs that i included with the box and made sure to note that the contents are all donations for an orphanage. hopefully that helped with the customs process.
also, my contact at the orphanage is the one who recommended that i use this particular shipping company so hopefully they are already well versed on the procedure!!
