what kind of engine??? it usually goes by $ per pound.... depending on the weight, it might be cheap to ship a core... i wanted to ship a 20B with the manifold and everything and it was going to cost me $600.... thats an estimate...

the crate charge is quite a bit, but a safe estimate is around $600-$700 without the tranny of course, this is for 2-4 day air.
The boat is pretty expensive too and takes about 20-45 days depending on what coast your on.

Try "Nippon Express USA". I work there as Air Cargo Export personal. Maybe I can find out the ocean freight charge for the motor.
By air, it will cost ALOT so i do not recommend it.
Note that you have to pay the duty+tax on top of the ocean freight charge.
you can also try "Excel" they are freight fwder also. But hey, the company i work at is rated number 1 customer serice and is the world largest freight fwder!

Why don't you talk to a couple people on this board. I know they have connections on things like that...though I can't remember who they are...sorry. Another place is talk to motorex. I personally hate the company, but I know they import.

All the freight fwder does packing, and "crate" the shipment if nessasary. But that will cost you a packing fee depending on the company. If you do not pack the motor well enough, the fee will apply regardless.
If for the air export, we will charge the following.
-Freight charge
-Terminal fee
-Handling fee
-Packig fee
-fuel & security
-Duty and tax
Here is the number. Ask for ocean department if you prefer. It will take aprox. 1-2weeks.
You would have to indicate the payment "collect or prepaid" and may have to provide a proforma invoice and declare the value and a schedual-B number for the shipment. Thats if you are going to be the shipper and consignee.
Nippon Express USA
650-827-3100

I asked the Customs guy (who had a gun and everything) if he thought maybe Osama was hiding somewhere in my 99 spec bumper. Needless to say, he didn't find it funny

As for being a smarta$$, I know what you mean. I'm like that too...but I've learned VERY quickly not to even half joke when it comes to those guys. It's bad enough that they look at me like I'm bout to blow up something/someone cuz I'm originally from Egypt...
You should see me at the airport. They have a freakin FIELD DAY w/ me :shaking his head:

I use my moms PC with Dynamic DNS and an FTP server to host my pictures. I wish I could remember the program I use to automatically update the I.P. with the Dynamic DNS server. Are you on cable or DSL? How long are your leases? Roadrunner only leases an I.P. for 24 hours :/
