Airbags and couriers, what is the format ?

[Charlie Farley]

I have had a few overseas inquires about my rs4 steering wheel complete with air bag, but I suspect there maybe restrictions on shipping these items.
What is the format on this .

any info would be great.

@Just Rob. - An airbag would be classed as an explosive so hence a big no no me thinks

I work in domestic and international shipping and I can confirm what @Bristle Hound says. You can get in a huge amount of trouble if you get caught shipping explosives and items containing explosive. If somebody ships undeclared dangerous goods and they cause an incident, the shipper responsible for all costs. There are also fines and worse!

Thanks chaps, I did think it was a non starter but that's been clarified now.
Must be an awful lot of ebay sellers posting dodgy items under the radar then.
