As I never were a cross-pond-ent, I wouldn't know about the plane ticket portion.
I don't remember the costs of the first imports 4 years back, but the most recent import arriving this week would tell this:
ex-Memphis-TN-in-Copenhagen-DK-airport-Bax-terminal
sousaphone-case-shape
weight-23-kg
costs: $120.70
Please be aware, that the price mentioned does not cover local handling and local taxes at the receiving end. These cost are independent, mostly, of the carrier company.
I don't think that even the cheapest "human" carrier would make me a cross-pond-ent at the price point mentioned. But then the scale (not necessarily a chromatic one) would display a number almost 4 times as high.
