I used DB Schenker to ship my wheels door to port and it cost me a few hundred more than if I'd arranged door to door - plus I had to visit them near the airport where they took their sweet time organising the paperwork, picking the order and forking it out to the car park (allow half a day). They said something about extra handling fees to release goods at DB Schenker rather than freighting it on to the final address - made no sense to me. But during the process of picking it up I asked for a comparative door to door quote to metro Melb and it was definitely a few hundred less. Not sure how that works out with larger orders such as yours. I think with the "made in USA" clause you will only avoid 5% duty, all other charges remain.
