Don't assume anything. Security clerks in other countries may or may not be cogent. On one return trip from Argentina to the USA I changed planes in Santiago. My luggage went through the x-ray device and I was called to the side by an agitated Chilean security guard. He showed me a tornado brush that was packed in my suitcase and demanded an explanation. In my poor Spanish I finally convinced him that it wasn't a weapon.
My advice, if you can't get a clear answer, is to ship it ahead to whoever you will be hunting with.
