I can't imagine a 400 gramme book being too large for airmail- so you will be fine.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

just a bit new to this and its a low value item so i cant afford to be wrong and soak up the differance
books seem rather expensive to mail anywhere , ive got a heap but might sling em rather than post0 -

OP states book weighs 400grammes though so why would they need to try different weights?I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

thanksLetter or Packet
(Minimum size) One surface must be at least 90mm x 140mm
(Maximum size) Length, width and depth combined must not be greater than!- 900mm
You will need a CN22 customs label and an airmail sticker (or print this clearly on your parcel). Ensure it has a returns address as US customs may refuse it otherwise.0 -
International prices are based on the weight as long as the package doesn't exceed the maximum size limits. There is no equivalent of the inland pricing in proportion system with letters, large letters and packets each with their different prices.0
