Couldn't find relevant information with a search, so here goes.

Canada Post says that under miscellaneous dangerous goods, airbags are not mailable items.

Here's my situation:
I bought a steering wheel from Germany (oem wheel only to German market mr2) and it has an airbag in it. I don't really need the airbag, but both the seller and I are avoiding opening it up to take out the airbag. In Germany, according to seller, he's been fine before shipping steering wheels with airbags. Canada post doesn't say anything about receiving full steering wheels with airbags inside them, but one can assume/interpret it different ways.

How would you guys go about this issue? It's not necessary for me to have the airbag since my car has never had an airbag, however the seller has no experience separating the airbag from the hornpad.

Thanks RS.
