Being a bit difficult to get to and not many inhabitants, it should come as no surprise that not many shipping companies service the region, let alone this country.  NEX ships there regularly, as does International Shipping, both of which are reputable companies worth looking at to help you with your shipping needs.  The unfortunate thing about so few companies shipping there is that you are unlikely to get a great price if you need to do so because there are not many choice to pit against one another.  Regardless, if you must ship there, be sure to do some research on the company of your choosing and get insurance on your items for safety's sake.
