The only way around the costs is using a freight forwarding service like Planet Express
www.planetexpress.com
They seem to have areas of specialty (Europe etc) so you may have to look at various companies.
Some of the ones that various people have used are below, I have no personal experience for incoming, I have shipped to people that have used some of these companies:

Hi,
That is part of why my RAK lives alone without a RAL. A few times over
the years there have been offers (from people I don't know) within
driving distance. When I contacted them to arrange the trip to buy and
pickup the RAL..they suddenly vanished! Maybe there never was a RAL in
those instances. It may have been a 'grab the money and run' scheme. I
do get to hamfests sometimes and the first thing on my agenda is "look
for a RAL".
