You're kidding me? About two years ago I sold my WS track to Malaysia and there was NO way to send it for less than a good £250, I'm talking of the smallest bike box you can fit a medium frame with most of the parts removed.
Last month I sent four hubs to Thailand and it went over £25. A Sram groupset to France? £28 cheapest. I can't believe you can send a 100cm box for twenty quids :-O -

The tubing on Brompton frames is not heat-treated and stays more within its properties due to the not ductile material to begin with, and less manipulated.
But those Scapin frames, IIRC, used a type of Dedacciai tubing that with some bad luck, would crack selling the tubing. You can see that is a failure along the moment of torsion, unlikely caused by the welding alone.
Brazing over that crack may slow down its run, but there's a good chance it will carry on from nearby.
