Has anyone searched for slower shipping options from USA to Europe ? Cargo boat should be cheaper than air.
Then how much taxes are there in the EU for importing scrap metal ?

Scrap metal. That... is positively brilliant!

My grandpa's wife comes from Fiji and they often ship stuff back there for her extended family. I don't recall anything about the price other than "spectacular deal" coming to mind.

The best story about shipping that I've heard comes from my grandpa. He was stationed on Midway at the end of WWII. The government didn't want to spend the money to ship all the stuff back from Midway to the US, so they abandoned it. Servicemen were allowed to mail stuff for free. Connect the dots - the US Government wound up paying to ship a big chunk of it back to the US anyway, they just didn't get to claim it at the other end.

Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!

Living proof that you can't keep a blithering idiot down.
