For international teams FIRST will contact you asking to fill out some preliminary information such as your crate size and weight as well as a shipping address. Later, we were contacted to fill out a customs declaration and a Shippers Letter of Instruction. While it may sound complicated the people I worked with at United Pacific and Patent International Logistics last year were very helpful.
There is information in the Admin Manual about shipping such as max size and weight. When I was contacted I also got a notice to international teams that robots will be held in the US in case a team is qualified for the World Championship. You can still request to have your robot shipped back earlier by contacting FIRST and forgo championship. With 2 Champs coming along they may do it differently, but it has worked pretty well so far.
