I agree, it can be a royal pain,

However, using the new DHL system, either on the internet or by manual AWB there shouldn't be too much bother.

Also as its coming from an EU, he won't need a comercial or a pro forma invoice, saving lots of trouble.

If it were me, i would class it under personal property. If you can get a sticky stick (a stick with studs protruding, mainly used for riot control) from China into the country then it is possible.

Another way could be to freight it over using a haulage company that is coming over from spain, if you could box it up securley enough then note it down as personal effects, customs shouldn't worry too much

At long last Turkey is coming into the fold will make things easier. I used to live in dread of having to send anything by road over the bosphorus!

All we need now is to convince the Swiss to stop being so pedantic and international transport will get easy!

I don't even think we can sell it on E-Bay.

Any suggestions?
At Heathrow a few years ago I was present in the car park as a competitor succeeded in getting his instrumnent onto the transit bus in less than 20 minutes to go to the terminal where it would go with him by (of course) plane.

A pole vaulting pole is considerably longer than a 2 metre blowpipe. It can be done but a) you will probably need to use a major carrier (rather than Ryanair etc) and b) give them some prior warning.
I suspect that de facto it would go by cargo - ie it might just be on the same plane but would be taken to a different building for collection.

And if all else fails you can use the blowpipe to shoot the annoying jobs worth obstructing you!
