I'm pretty sure DHL will ship anything anywhere.

Yes DHL , UPS and FedEx all ship internationl under 150 pounds. Over 150 is air freight. Another option is BAX Global. I used BAX to ship 150 pounds to Korea (JBL speakers) and they were half the price of the other carriers. The difference is the others are express shippers, BAX is air freight. The box may sit at the terminal for a few days until there is a full load, but still get there in 10-14 days usually. For big stuff in the US, I use Forward Air. They're only $35 per 100 pounds.
