Shipping furniture (tansu) from Japan to United States

Does anyone have any experience buying furniture or other bulky/heavy items from Japan and having them shipped to the United States or other countries? (Sort of a moving back from Japan question?) I am in touch with a tansu maker, but he is unfamiliar with exporting, and the only shipping quote he received was in excess of 150,000Â¥, nearly the price of the item. The tansu is 40kg (88 lbs) and 129 x 44 x 78cm (51 x 18 x 31in).

Apologies if this isn’t the correct sub!
