The airline doesn't accept such a large box as baggage. It must transported as cargo. And cargo operates similar to couriers. In fact, crating and shipping the action doesn't seem complicated (though a little risky). The real problem is with the US Customs Office. They will charge the internation like every good that enters to the States. Thank you Susan! Maybe I've got a marketing problem. From my point of view, this opportunity looks very nice. Plenty of americans pay a lot of money to travel to Chile. And this one is free. I attach a picture of a very common destination of american and european people. It's called Torres del Paine (Magallanes region).

Fernando, There is another possibility here. If the airline will accept a crated action as baggage, You could fly in with it and personally deliver it to a technician here, who could meet you at the airport, arrange lodging, and could work on your action more comfortably and efficiently in the familiarity of his own shop. The action will only be out of your hands during the flight times both ways, so you can maintain control of it and immediately assess any possible incurred damage and take the appropriate actions. Whoever goes where, round trip travel and lodging will have to be paid for anyway, and this way the technician won't lose the time traveling - which may make it easier to find one.
