I received an online price request from a potential collector ... For a piece costing about $200, UPS quoted me their LEAST expensive rate of $514.25, $112.10 of which is just for fuel!!

Sounds cheaper to send it standby coach.

Ship it unframed by airmail.  An 11x14 photograph mailed to Europe
was around $5 by air.  If you really want to get cheap you can
send it by surface mail.

If it is a photograph I don't worry about damage - the production cost for a print is nowhere near the print price, so it is much more economical to ship cheap and uninsured and to replace the print if it does get damaged.
