International bicycle shipping

Thanks to COVID19, I am looking to ship a bicycle from the D.C area to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.

Can fellow forum members provide me with guidance on who to use and who offer reasonable international rates.

thank you.

Are you the shipper? perhaps a Freight Forwarding company can be of assistance? here is what they are https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freight_forwarder

the rates are what they are .. I am not the one to shop around for you..

I just checked Bike Flights and it was crazy expensive. They need to charge duty going into the country which amounted to 17% of the claimed cost. Hopefully you can find something cheaper.
