Aloha from Hawaii

Hi everyone,
Prospective TSi builder here. I've been aiming to build a Cozy Mk IV for a long time but hasn't managed to actually get started and after a sobering look at the probability of actually managing to complete such a project I'm changing direction to a kit instead. The Sling looks really nice and I'm very attracted to the efficiency and power/weight (if not the price tag) of the Rotax.
One question I had was this: we'll probably move from Hawaii to Sweden in a year or so. I'm toying with the idea of getting the kit before the move, because that way I would avoid the 25% sales tax in Sweden, and it probably would not significantly affect the moving cost assuming all our stuff still fits in a container. However, I don't have a good idea of how large the complete kit, as shipped, actually is. How many crates, etc? It would be a significant pain to have to deal with it, so I'm not sure it's actually worth it.
Are there distributors in Europe similarly to the airplane factory in CA that would ship the kit if I order to Sweden, or do non-US orders deal directly with South Africa?
