Sir,
If you are not hiring a 10' container atleast, then you will be at a loss.

TV is cheap in India itself. To send a 64" tv, you may have to send an oversize package at the cargo (aircraft). If your other items will fit and occupy a 10' container, then it is around $ 2000 for transportation. In Bombay, you will have to pay bribe and duties to get it out, Bribe may be around Rs 20K depending on your goods.

You have three problems.

The Voltage there is 220 volts a.c. if your TV is 110 volts you will need a step down transformer.

The Frequency there is 50 hz. The TV you are buying will be 60 Hz. You cannot do anything about it.

Third thing is getting it to your home intact. Plus the cost.

Weigh all of these factors and then decide.

Add all the costs and see if is worth it.

Good Luck.

FH.

P.S. " What is for ever"? and I will provide you with a few links after I contact them first and get the details.

Sir,
what I told you is for sea cargo only. Sea cargo is cheap but it must have sufficient quanity for it to work out profitable for you.
Since it is TV and some other little stuff, Air cargo is the only perfect fit. You can do a TR in India and not pay any duty (Sea or Air)

As FH suggested, I would sell it in Kijiji for $ 500 and try to buy a new / used one in India. 64" is a hassle to carry via air and too small to ship.

Sir,
64" Samsung in India retails for around 2.8 lakhs. This is $ 6500 Cdn..
Try to get quotes from companies (air / sea) for the price and work it out.

Missisaauga industrial estate has lots of shipping companies.

I used :

ITN Integral Transportation Networks - Toronto
6975-D Pacific Circle
Mississauga, Ontario, Canada L5T 2H3
Ph# 905-362-1111 ext 301
Direct Line# 905-362-1486

Just for your information :
55" - 2 lakhs
45 " - 1.5 lakhs
