My experience 'may' be helpful.
Shipping from the UK to USA. THE cost prior to Brexit, was considerably higher than from other EURO countries, like Slovenia,Flikka or Bulgaria, Witchcraft. The current rates from UK have risen some, but won't really take effect till Britain does withdrawal from the EU, they have till 2018 in June.

There would be no EU tax on a export, its VAT , value added tax, most prices in EU countries have this included, for me it's 15-18% off, the quoted price.

Shipping from anywhere can damage the board, the more people, stations, aircraft , trucks that handle it the more likely for damage.

sails , booms and masts are reasonable, via UPS.

I have a MOO Custom, made near Liverpool , its brilliant, the shipping cost compared to Flikka or Witchcraft puts it into a different level of cost.

with the boards available in your country, I would pass on this idea.

Freight will be a large cost I expect plus 10% GST on the import. I doubt it is an exercise that will save you money, likely will cost more than boards retail for here. I believe Bernalot has done the exercise on the Goya 104 (shipped from UK to Perth WA) which he lost at Gnaraloo (and was recovering in Darwin) and you may want to contact him direct.
