Freight forwarding to India

My friend wanted to send the following items to India.
( Brand new , unpacked )
2 nos -- 400 Litr Refrigerator
2 nos -- 6 kg Front load Washing machine
Which forwarder will be better option ? ( Reliable )
what will be the aprox charges ?
Does it attract any customs duty India ? aprox how much ?
Does it require additonal packing ?
not air, only thru ships
can we get aprox charges, duty etc
there are some crooks runnig forwariding companies with very cheap rates,,,but not reliable
i wish to send thru reliable shippers, even if it is a bit expensive
I think ST cargo is better, u can contact them they are available at Bin Mahmoud.
What way you're sending through? Air ways or cargo ships??
