FedEx International Priority
FedEx International Priority is the FedEx service tier used for all Ounceo shipments. It delivers within 1–3 business days to most countries, supports declared-value insurance, requires signature on delivery, and uses HS codes 7108.12 (gold bullion), 7106.91 (silver bullion), 7118.90 (legal-tender coins) on customs forms.
FedEx International Priority is one of the few global courier services that openly accepts precious-metals shipments with declared value and insurance. UPS and DHL have stricter rules; some refuse precious metals outright in certain lanes.
Ounceo has a FedEx business account with the declared-value tier enabled. For shipments above $25,000, we layer a supplemental Lloyd's of London policy on top of FedEx Declared Value Coverage.

Declared value is the amount you tell the courier your shipment is worth. FedEx Declared Value Coverage insures the package up to the declared value, with a cap around $50,000 per package on most lanes. Ounceo declares the full retail value on every shipment and pays the corresponding insurance line item.
Ounceo divides the world into eight FedEx shipping zones: US (incl. Canada), EU, UK/CH/NO/IS, MENA, APAC, Oceania, LatAm, and Africa. Each zone has a flat shipping fee ($80–$250). Some countries are case-by-case (Argentina, Egypt, Lebanon, Nigeria) and a few are blocked (Russia, Iran, North Korea, India, Brazil, Turkey, China).
