I went back and read a little harder.. I think if you can keep it ground only and limit it to 3 containers total and no more than 33.8 oz per package. Don't quote me on that. This is a link that I found with this information. Can't say if it's still valid or not.

I have forgotten the wording on the labeling (I printed up a bunch for her to use), but, yes, it does have to be especially labeled. It's not a biggie and the U.S. Postal Service does fine. Roll up to a town's P.O. and walk out with fuel for the next month.
Cannister stoves have spoiled me. The burner weighs about 2.5 oz., and is very small and packable. Three minutes to boil, no soot, spilled fuel etc. Screw the burner on the cannister and light it. Done.
Addressing the next post above; If I was going to Mexico, yes, I'd go with a multi-fuel stove, but not here in the States. Liquid fuel is (to my way of thinking) heavy, dirty and inconvenient. I do have a nice little Coleman 442, but I don't use it anymore.
