Shipping time? Billing cost? Custom clearing? Don't forget, many customs have quite low thresholds before they tax the hell out of imports. In Germany I think you can have an item shipped up to 20 Euro. Also, many products could be confiscated (dietary supplements, "medicine", food, electronics (certifications)). Try to ship ANYTHING to Brazil. Good luck with that. And hope you don't have to return anything. Furniture? Good idea. I don't know what "high end" means but the shipping costs are likely going to kill you. On the other handL I shipped once a pallet from LA to Germany via Airfreight. If you use a small provider, costs are quite low. The provider buys a kg air freight US<>Europe around 1 US$ and resells it to you with a mark up. Still, you have to clear customs and have to get it to the airport and then again from the airport. Funny thing: The company who delivered it for me to the airport included a bill for their services. It was only for finalizing the product that I shipped to them. The EU customs charged him import taxes based on that bill, not mine. Hence my customer saved a shit load of money.
