Default Shipping big parts overseas?

All,

What to do about shipping big parts overseas. ie. hoods, exhaust, engines,etc.

I know in Germany, some have shipped to Rhein Main, but Rhein Main is closed now! How do I get big parts now? Shipping to My Germany address is crazy (Cost!)

I do know a few that have gotten some exhaust parts and tires thru regular mail.

What are my options?

I've shipped 2 engines 3 hoods over here for myself and one very close German friend I have. Too easy. The hard part is going to Frankfurt Int Airport to pick it up because they send you all over to get the paperwork and clearance through customs. All you need is the customs sheet filled out through your MPF Military Personnel Flight but for the Army guys I don't know what it's called. Couple of other FBE members shipped 9" rears and all. You have the customs paperwork filled out you don't pay the outrageous tax that's imposed on the Germans.

Bax Global is your friend for shipping large items.
