The IATA shipping regulations for permanent magnets dictate that only very small magnetic fields affect the outer packaging.

In accordance with the IATA dangerous goods regulations, a package is approved for air transport if a sensitive compass is placed on the package at 4.6 m in the east/west direction and following a 360° rotation, the compass deviation is less than 2°.

A simpler method to check the outer packaging for magnetic fields is the "paperclip test". In this test, normal paperclips must not remain attached to the vertical outer wall of a package. This can be achieved by ensuring a sufficiently large distance between the packed permanent magnets and the package wall. A better solution is the shielding of all interior surfaces of the package with thin steel plates with a 0.5 to 1.0 mm thickness. Rod-shaped magnets can be short-circuited by placing them next to one another with opposite poles.
