I am sorry to say but FED-EX does not charge you brokerage fees because they
don't have an in house broker. They are automatically passed on to a
brokerage house that will bill you later. It has happened to me 3 times and
FED-EX says that there is nothing they can do.
To my knowledge, they only way to avoid brokerage fees is to ship UPS and
clearly indicate "NO BROKERAGE" on the box, commercial invoice. Big enough
that a person with poor eyesight can read. Otherwise, they will say, "Sorry,
but it wasn't clearly indicated."

Another good reason to use FedEx Ground or Home Delivery as opposed to UPS -
FedEx can be MUCH cheaper even inside the continental US.
