In 2010 I shipped a Baldwin SD10 to
Medellin, Columbia to a university
there. I used Keyboard Carriage to
pick up the piano and build a crate
to ship it. It was then delivered to
the international shipper in Miami.
There are some forms to fill out for
the IRS and probably you'll need to fill out forms for import or whatever in
the country of destination. I didn't
do that as the purchaser did it.
Here's the shipper I used at the time (2010)....prices have certainly gone up since then! This shipper may no longer
be in business or the phone numbers might not be working. You might need to google this. Also call someplace that moves household items. I should think
that if they are getting a shipping container to move all the stuff, they could certainly get one big enough for the piano. However, it needs to be sealed up well as it will be above board on a ship inside a metal (sweating) container....so consider all that and then perhaps they should just buy a new Yamaha in their destination country. Sell the one they have, etc....

Mind...this was for Columbia, but they
may ship to other South Amercian countries as well.
This is all I know and the only time I've every shipped abroad.
Good luck!
