It is my understanding that a non FFL dealer can ship via USPS/UPS
across states if a shotgun is broken down in its parts and sent to a FFL
certified dealer. Correct me if Im wrong.
Thanks.

It doesn't have to be broken down to ship the the FFL. The only benefit to breaking it down is a smaller box.
You can break it down to parts and ship everything except the reciever to your brother. The reciever is considered the "firearm", so it has to go to the FFL.
Now, on the topic of shipping firearms, you can ship it to yourself at his address for the purpose of hunting and competetive shooting. But
YOU have to be tpresent to sign/accept the package, and
YOU have to open the package. THen you would have to sell the firearm to your brother in the presence of an FFL holder. Sounds like a good excuse to make a visit to your brother.
