I think the issue potentially with comic books is that they contain advertising and it says above no advertising matter other than incidental announcement of books.

Yeah, I think so too - and technically I think they aren't allowed media mail (though their beefier cousins, graphic novels, are). However, I think that particular rule is stupid and on the rare occasion I ship comics I sometimes "forget" and send them media.

I should say that some publishers have advertisements and some don't. Image comics and some others only have ads for other comics which would technically qualify for media mail while others such as Marvel and DC do have ads so they would technically not qualify.

I was never asked what I was shipping but I had a bit of a disturbing experience.  I was walking up to my door and our mail carrier (who was new and I had only seen a couple of times before) saw me and my son coming in the door.  She said "ooooh you must be the little guy that gets all the legos!".  I of course have been ordering tons of legos but not once did they come in a box that indicates they are legos.  Of course TLG sends in a plain brown box.  So either they are shaking my boxes and determining they are legos or peeking somehow!

It's best to tell the truth. They're basically trying to keep people from just using a vague term (electronics, weapon parts, medicine) that could include illegal/hazardous materials. 

 

You need to say headphones, not electronics, because lithium batteries can't be shipped via air.

I always write LEGO on my customs sticker that I have to attach to boxes and packages going abroad. Not least because US customers don't have to pay duty on LEGO as far as I know.
