you could also explore using freight forwarders at both ends - one to

I expect a freight forwarder (specialising in Italy maybe) with proper
connections would be able to arrange all this with a known (to them)
partner at the other end i.e. a "one stop shop" jobby?

They work for free do they?

erm... do you?

No. But that's not relevant.

20T X 150 = 3000 less cost of box say 1000 = 2000 to break even with
your current situation - bet someone would be interested ...bet you
know better somehow....

Well unlike you I know what I have to buy, how much I can afford, how
much capital I have, how the goods have to be stored, the sort of market
etc. So I know considerably better than you in this instance, yes.

anyhow that's the end of my free impartial advice on this one

It was worth what I paid for it.

Phrases about grandmothers and eggs came to mind.
