Along the right lines.....
As for shipping, I bought bits from several places and had them shipped to a pal of mine in TN who is used to exporting stuff (usually helicopter parts, but the principle is the same). He made the crate up so everything fitted but no bigger and shipped it airfreight into Stansted where I picked it up in a van. It was done as a favour for me, not sure it's replicatable.
The shipping itself was remarkably cost-effective, but there's not much you can do on duty and VAT. I'd recommend the shippers, contact details by PM.
