Accepted answer

While I couldn't find anything that pertains strictly to FedEx, I found this website which offers a similar service. Their terms seem to answers your questions.

  1. The luggage would go through customs just like any package being sent through the mail would be. Having the contents packed into a suitcase instead of a cardboard box makes little difference to them when screening.

  2. There would be no way to avoid a fee. Any fee incurred would be charged to you once your luggage arrives at it's destination.

  3. Just like mailing a package, the customer must provide a list of everything contained in the suitcase.

    Any duties, taxes or other fees incurred during the customs inspection process will be passed on to the customer.

    To ensure an expedited customs clearance process and to minimize duties, taxes or other fees imposed by customs or similar authorities, customer is responsible for supplying Luggage Freeยฎ with the complete contents of each Item in the shipment.
