If you are opening an online shop, then you should be using a web service with eCommerce as well - including built in utilities to calculate shipping.
If however your "shop" is just a webpage where you take orders and process manually, then you have a couple of options.
Establish flat rates for different "zones" - i.e. one rate for lower 48 States (assuming you are US based), one for Europe, Asia, Australia, etc. You can easily look up those rates based on size/weight and post with each item. This is the way that UPS, FedEx, DHL do it. In fact, you could just you their charts.
Or you could just figure out the basic rates for the top 3 countries/regions you plan on sending to and follow up on each order outside those 3 with shipping quotes.

You can't charge a person in the U.S the same shipping charges as the person in Austrailia...you'd lose money this way. You can get online quotes from the carrier's website. If you are using UPS for example, simply go to their website and request an online quote for the shipping charges. If you live in the U.S. and want to ship internationally, the charges will be a lot more. I ofetn ship to Canada and the shipping charges are way more than shipping to my U.S. customers.
Compare rates using DHL, UPS, FedEx, and USPS.
