Foreign Postage Rates

http://www.k4hb.com/postage.html

Foreign Postage Rates

If you are sending US dollars for return postage, It should be noted that banks may charge a fee for exchanging foreign currency.
Some countries, such as Canada, charge tax for postage. Some countries, such as Australia, have a cheaper card rate.
(1.65 AUD) All rates listed in these charts are the airmail letter rates. Contrary to what some may say, there's still countries
that can return a card for 1USD or less. When sending stamps for return postage, keep in mind that they are only valid in their
country of origin. Example: US stamps are useless in Canada. French stamps are useless in Spain, even though the Euro is
their common currency. Envelope size is also important. Not only for larger cards, but some countries, such as Hungary, must
pay extra for non-standard envelops. (114mm X 162mm)

The number of cards that can be sent for the rates listed in the charts below will vary from country to country. Most of these
rates will cover up to 20 grams, but some are as low as 10g and as high as 50g. Typically, 10g will cover an envelope and two
average single cards. 20g will cover an envelope and 5 average single cards. It's better to play it safe with borderline situations.
