Yes, it's a Rohn tower.
Just for fun I asked DHL, as i already had them on the phone how much it would
be and, yes, they asked for about $6 000. As it was resident-to-resident "it
has do go by air".
A few years ago I shipped a bunch of furniture from Sweden to here and the
total cost was only about $500 and that included trucking it from the seaport
to my house. I don't remember now how I did it but I guess time has changed.
I can see that if I have e.g. a 100 foot tower that is assembles, it will be
expensive but for something 10 foot long, ridiculous.

I'm sorry to ask, but whAt are you shipping from where to where? $6000 freight
seems pretty high unless it is a tower or such.

by $6 resp $7 if it got dropped off and picked up at their terminals instead of
the door-to-door offer. Generous I say. I think it will be uship.com, estes.com
or me driving to myself.
