shipping motorcycle

hey I got a question that's been in my head for a while.

What are exactly the procedure to ship a bike ???
I've never done it but bikes here in the states are way cheaper than back home in Peru so I was wondering if it would be worth it to buy a cbr 600 RR for example and ship it to Peru from Miami, FL.

I know I have to pay the shipping company but how they calculate their rates. Do I have to pay a fee at the port in miami or in peru ... I don't know stuff like that.

If anybody already shipped a bike to other countries it be nice if they can tell me their story

Thanks.
