I really need more specific information, but as a general rule, you should know that air courier rates are highly negotiable. Discounts of 50% on schedule rates are common, and for frequent shipments it can be even more.
Ask various air couriers to quote you, but to get the ebst rates you will need to open and account.
Just as a hypothetical answer relating to larger shipments, a 100kg shipment door to door from Swindon Oxon, to Charlotte NC could cost about $800 for delivery within 4 days, or $600 for delivery within a week, including the customs clearance fee. Duty and taxes are additional if applicable.
It is sometimes possible to get lower cost air freight as opposed to air courier services, but to be safe you must get quotes covering all costs door to door. You must inform them that you are not requesting air courier rates. To get quotes I suggest you contact freight forwarders in the US not in the UK. As a rule. UK forwarders will quote much higher.
