It depends upon the level of insurance needed for the article. The seller is
no going to ship something internationally without insurance as, if the
article is damaged or lost en route, the seller will have lost both the article
and the money.

lens, for a 10 x 8 camera, would not pay the shipping costs from London to
Shanghai.
