EXTRA SERVICES AVAILABLE

Registered Mail

http://www.usps.com/international/intlspecialservices.htm#H1
Registry service provides security and limited indemnity protection for First-Class Mail®, International, and Priority Mail International Flat Rate Envelope items. Items bearing an address in pencil or any erasable format are not accepted as Registered Mail. This optional special service is not available with Priority Mail International flat rate or variable weight parcels or Express Mail International® services.

Registered items can be sent to all destination countries except the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea), Federated States of Micronesia, Iraq, and Republic of the Marshall Islands. 

Priority Mail® International Ordinary Indemnity

http://www.usps.com/international/intlspecialservices.htm#H2
Indemnity coverage is now provided for all ordinary (uninsured) Priority Mail International (flat rate envelope not included) items. This coverage is provided at no additional charge and protects mailers against loss, damage, or missing contents. Coverage is calculated based on the weight of the parcel and not on the value of the contents of the parcel. Mailers may still purchase insurance for a fee to many countries. When insurance is purchased, it replaces the indemnity coverage provided on ordinary Priority Mail International.
