Shipping a Compressed Air Cylinder
DISCHARGE CYLINDER BEFORE SHIPPING.
Compressed air cylinders may not be shipped pressurized without proper (Hazmat) certification.
Empty or full compressed air cylinders must be shipped in original packaging to prevent damage.
Please return protective covers. When shipping unpressurized cylinders in their original packaging,
please make sure you remove any Hazmat labels or markings that were used when they were
shipped pressurized.
Transportation Guidelines
While the International Air Transport Association (IATA) has specifically approved avalanche airbags
with pressurized cylinders for airline travel, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) does not
allow them. If you are traveling in countries outside of North America where refills are not available,
contact your airline in advance for permission to check through your pressurized Float cylinder. If
permission is granted, then pack the pressurized cylinder in your checked baggage. Make sure it is
packed with the following document: www.backcountryaccess.com/IATAdoc
If you are traveling to or from North America, then TSA will not allow your pressurized cylinder on
board. Discharge the compressed air cylinder before entering the airport. Once empty, unscrew the
cylinder head from the cylinder and put both in re-sealable plastic bags. Carry them through the TSA
security checkpoint so they are visible to TSA personnel. Afterward, the cylinder head can be screwed
back on the cylinder by hand. When you reach your destination, locate a Float retailer or refill center
and exchange or refill your empty cylinder. For a list of Float refill/exchange locations, visit our site at
www.backcountryaccess.com/refillcenters
BCA will also ship charged demo cylinders to your destination for you. Contact our customer service
department to make arrangements (info@backcountryaccess.com).
