I've used Keune & Nagel to import from the States but sometimes there are guys with  transit  vans that specialise in trips in and out of a country and they may be a cheaper option.

Wow!  Kuehne & Nagel!  Good call! Strange as I always found them to be very very expensive every time I have asked for  quotes from the USA.  But in Germany I used them regularly to ship and  their service was exceptional.  Derek won't  go wrong with them shipping his BIG machine from Turkey :o

Nobody said anything about the size!   I was  re-iterating what you had said in your original post that is was a LARGE machine and  you needed help and import advice on it! 

Consequently you having now posted the full info, weights and dimensions Tony's helpful post demonstrates that it isn't going to fit on a Ford Transit is it???  So you probably need a specialist to both transport and load it at their end and the necessary equipment to unload it at your end because I would imagine, but don't know,  that this item may need to be crated so a tail lift isn't going to handle it.  You will also need a full description because there could be parts of it that are Hazardous along with the commodity code to get a price off any Professional Shipping Company especially Kuehne & Nagel as they will need to sort bonding, dock fees, import duty and VAT out for HMRC when it lands prior to it being transported onwards to you!  Finally assuming this lump of kit costs more than fourpence you will also need to sort  door to door transit insurance for the full value with your shipping agent as well.

A rug wringer or washer.... I knew as soon as you said the size :)

At first I thought it was an old soviet Intercontinental missile which is about the same dimensions  but I thought why do you need one of them, then it came to me......a big rug wringer

Dunno why its priced in USD  coming from Turkey but I am sure they have their reasons! USD is on its ar5e at the moment but assuming you get around 1.40$ to the £ and  customs use around the same rate for VAT you can normally work on around 6% Commodity Code Tax so that equates to

$3200 / 1.40  x 6% + = Around £2425 + VAT = £2910 + Insurance for £2500 replacement value usually about £150 + Shipping?? Best educated guess around £250-£400 so worst case scenario would be £3400-£3600 Landed ;D  All guess work cos I have never imported from Turkey!  There could also be a bit more hidden taxes on it because they are not in the EU either???  It may also be part Hazardous depending on what they send with the Motor or if it has any fluids already in it???

Good Luck!!!

i think dave at the big clean has packed in, website has been down for years,  and just not a fan of nick so wouldnt even consider approaching him.

Mike, maybe a soviet rocket would be cheaper and its the right shape , dya think we could fashion  a rug ringer out of it with a few modifications, ?   ;D

Kevin.
all ready done the maths matey, its the logistics i asked for help about,

still not had anything back off the ones i emailed. might need to call and ask.

Why not?  I guessed at £250-400 !  £300 is very reasonable IMO

Takes 10 weeks to get a transit van back from turkey. L2 transit has a load length of 3.5m but it would fit into a L3. If you don't get any luck I have a friend that works for a freight import clearance firm
