Default Posting an airbag

Just sold my V4 Momo steering wheel on eBay and stated 'UK bidders only'. Typically the winning bidder is from the USA (perhaps he thought that they are still a colony and would be acceptable ) So, can I send this easily (legally) by UK post, DHL etc?

Bugger - sorry for posting (sic) in the wrong section - bloody iPad lol

Bit risky outside uk though as they should be packaged and sent as an explosive and would cost a lot to send correctly, best option is to cancel the sale, I had issues when I sold mine but ended up with the buyer collecting it,

I wouldn't send one overseas as if your caught, and with todays security technology its a fair chance you would be, you'd be in a world of pain.

thanks for the input. FYI some courier companies will take them, but I'm not sure about outside the UK.

Is there nothing on for example UPS's website?

May be worthwhile sending them an email.
