If you are posting anything from the USA to another country, then you probably should not rely on their website for correct postage. It is probably just temporary but who knows. 
I calculated a price for a 7 ounce package destined to our neighbor to the North and packaged everything up. Since I wanted the frankings to be hand cancelled, I took it to the local PO and was surprised to find that I owed $0.21 more than the website said. Not a big deal in cost but if I had dropped it in the outgoing mail, it would have been returned to me.
I rechecked the website afterwards, and it still quotes the lower cost.
My suggestion is that you call the PO to verify the rate before dropping any parcels in the outgoing mail chute.
First-Class Mail® International Large Envelope
Value of contents can not exceed $400.00
Max. length 15", height 12" or thickness 3/4"
Varies by destination
$3.54
1774739874 This did not cause me any issues but it could have!
It may be that my scales are off a few grams but it was purchased from them.
