Subject: [CR]Shipping a bike frame to Taiwan

Is there an most economical way to ship a bike to Taiwan ?? A friend of mine from Taiwan bought a NOS KOF bike on Ebay, intending to pick it up on a visit to the USA. His travel plans changed and he was unable to pick it up, due to a stoopid(sic) hotel in Hawaii.

The dimensional size is roughly 100 inches, more than 79 inches but less than 108 inches.

Will there be huge import fees ?? I imagine that Taiwan's economy is rigged to EXPORT bicycles, they probably have punitive fees on IMPORT of bicycles ... sheesh.

Please respond via email and I will summarize.
