I don't have a 56 so I can't help with size and weight. But, have you tried:
http://www.uship.com/ for shipping?
I think they handle European shipments.

Here are the dimensions, you might search here more and find a weight buried in the info.

I know that finding a good seat is hard to do for one of these trucks, even here is the states. What dad and I did was to take a seat from a mid 80's full size dodge truck and cut 4" out of the center of it (took about 30 minutes to cut and weld it back... no biggie at all) Then added 1" to the rear mounting bolt. It looks alot like an OEM and most wouldn't know the difference.

That's a purty seat!

You might check with some of the guys that import alot or a shipping company that will handle an LCL (less than container load) shipment. Sea freight is going to be your best bet, air freight is like 4 Euro/kg for small stuff and more for big. A seat is considered big.
