I don't know where in Europe the machine is going to but I would be
surprised if the sea freight for an 8x8x40 foot container would be
more than $4000. Will the machine fit inside an 8ft wide x 10 foot
high x 40 foot container?

No, as I stated, the crate is 12'x10'x16'.


A different case altogether, container shipping is relatively
cheap.


That would be classed as a wide load in Oz for road transport and
require an escort service - normal load is 8' wide - and up goes
the cost. Sea freight also more expensive as it would need to be
securely packed in the hold. Huge crate, also very expensive, I can
now understand your $24k cost

What is the cost of the machine $200k + ? in which case
shipping is not too high a portion.
