The answer to your question lies in the laws of the two countries involved and what they say about carriage of restricted or other weapons. As far as packing in your CHECKED luggage, it would depend on the airline knowing what was in your suitcase. In these days of luggage X Ray my reaction would be NOT to try and do something which is seen to be illegal or disallowed. I have found normal postage as the easiest way, though Fedex also seems trouble free, but that may depend on the country/s involved.Also the Permit requirements for export and import vary considerably between countries, so make sure you have the right bit of paper.
Bottom line....do your homework first or it may cost you........
