LCL ocean shipping would be the most cost effective. Figure another $450.00 to $650.00 for freight, terminal fees, and delivery.

And don't forget, the hardtop will have to be crated at the shipping point, from fumigated or heat treated wood. Don't know what they charge in France, but here it'd be another $250.00.

Estimated total $4500.00 - $4700.00. (Your results may vary.)

Just keepin' it real................

Yes cost is a problem, and getting it approved by ones boss (the wife) is the biggest obstacle, but I am looking to bring one in.
