Basically, you have to drop the first 1 in the number as that's the long-distance carrier code for dialing internally in the US.

You dial 00 to go international, then you add a 1 which is the country code, then you drop the first number 1, so you'd dial 00 1 800 123 4567

Be aware 1-800 numbers are toll free numbers so they either won't allow international calls or they will charge you at the normal rate
