Most sources in Israel ship with EMS and it is delivered in the US via the USPS (signature required) or worldwide by your local postal service. It usually takes 3-5 days and can be tracked. I’ve never heard of any custom charges by customs of any country, whether it be a pair of tefillin or expensive sterling silver Torah ornaments. At most there will be a delay in customs of a few days, no matter which shipping service is used. UPS and FED EX are expensive hence most use the post office express option, which is very reliable and costs around $25 for a pair of tefillin.
