One option, use a forwarding company.

There are many compaines that freight forward stuff.

They provide you with a U.S shipping adress and then repackage and ship the item/s to you. This is a way to purchase from retailers etc that will not ship outside the U.S. for whatever reason.

Something of this size would be costly and should be broken down in to multiple packages, preferably shipped at different times.

The actual gun could not be shipped. But the mount should present no issue if broken down.

The forwarding company's really have no clue what 90% of the stuff is they ship and most it seems do not really wanna know, and only go by what is listed on the item or is identified as it being by the shipper, most of the time they just guess at what it is.....

I have had stuff shipped and listed as the most ridiculous things. Stuff listed as the part number only with no other description, stuff listed as the manufactuers name with no description, things listed as items not even closely related to what it is. For example vehicle parts listed as kitchen utensils, a Wet Sandblaster listed as a water treatment kit (I can sort of understand that one), one of the latest things was an engine damper listed as "Clark" nothing else just "Clark". It was a new Damper for my M1010 Ambulance, I bought it out of the states from a OEM parts distributor as the genuine GM one was the same cost states side with shipping as the chinesse knock off was at the local Napa with the jobber discount, and a quarter the cost of the GM one here. But according to the forwarding company on the official documentation it was a "Clark", go figure that one out.


Broken down in to separate parcels no one would really have a clue what it is. To the layman it would like some sort of machine mount.

And yes they would handle something that size and weight you just have to pay.

I do not condone circumnavigating shipping regulations so do with this information as you choose.
