Shipping airbags(new or used) on a professional level requires that the
sender be "certified" in doing so, that special boxes be used, etc, etc.
That's assuming the sender has a desire to declare or insure the contents. I
do know of people who've just slapped 'em into a brown box and off they
went(UPS), but forget any insurance claim on that one if damaged. YMMV.
