With a level of transport costs that high, it would be a better idea to buy a Testo 300 gas analizer yourself, plus a small laptop and the Testo software to do several online testruns. It would be much cheaper than the cost of the stoves plus transport. That way, it would become possible knowing the stoves would pass the certification test before shipping those to the EU.
I have to delve into the requirements, in order to provide you with the right method to mimic the certification test. The only requirement you won't be able to check is dust concentration in the exhaust gases. The Testo 300 doesn't provide this functionality, sadly to say. In combination with another Testo device it will though.
I don't know anything about the requirements in the USA, sorry about that.

I hope this message finds you well.
I have consulted with international logistics providers and found that the cost of shipping a rocket stove from China to the Netherlands is approximately $2,000. While I would be delighted to send you my two models of rocket stoves for testing free of charge, the total logistics cost for both units amounts to around $4,000, which is unfortunately too expensive for us at the moment.
If there is anyone willing to cover the shipping costs, I would be more than happy to send the stoves to you for your testing and research purposes.
Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to your response.

While I understand that $4000 is expensive, you said earlier you wish to sell these in Europe and US. If it costs that much to send a stove for testing, how will they be shipped for sale? Is shipping to the Netherlands that much more expensive than shipping to other parts of Europe or the United States? My understanding is that these can't be sold in Europe without the testing?
