Without knowing more specific information (i.e., weight, number of 
packages/boxes, etc.) it is tough to answer your question. What I would 
say though is that since you are "new", you are not yet in a position to 
command a discount program with FedEx or DHL. I would suggest contacting 
some freight brokers who offer, and specialize in international freight 
like this. They will have the expertise to guide you and should be able 
to command worthwhile discounts directly from these and other carriers.
