I think £1200 for the container springs to mind. There is also the delivery to and from the ports, which may or may not be included. The cost of crating/padding the parts to stop them rattling around in the containiner. I think there is also the logistics of getting the aircraft out of the container which is on the back of a lorry (ramp, crane, etc).
The disassembly, reassembly and inspection/authorization will also cost quite a bit.
