You cant

Those knuckleheads ruined 50% of a bunch of 78s I brought back from  
Israel two years ago.  They will not ask you, they just open your  
stuff and whatever they dont break by picking up and handling, they  
demolish when they throw it back together & jump on the suitcase to  
close it.  Good luck to you.   Shipping anything in this age of  
paranoia is a bad idea, period.

I have driven in a truck to Montreal to pickup a load of records  
because I could not trust customs to leave it alone.
