Depends how much kit, if it's quite a bit groupage probably. Container is quite cheap now also.

By surface, 800 is likely air freight. Get on to local shipping broker and get a price on crate by surface. It'll take six weeks but cost about a third of that..
Last full engine I got in from US cost about 350 euro.
