You will find a lot of info on this forum regarding shippers. There are standard 7-8 companies which you can evaluate based on your needs and get a estimate from 3-4 of them and decide with whihc one to go.
you will need to first decide if you want to ship all the stuff . In that case you will need FCL ( full contanier )if the volume is above 550 cubic. anything less you can go with LCL ( Less than container load ) . If LCL make sure that you bring the stuff you need or you want and sell/donate the rest fo stuff over there. Try to keep the volume as low as possible for LCL
The usual compaines like 21st century relocators, universal shipping etc are good and you can get their reviews on this forum
