Exactly the same when I post a ‘chisel’
I gave up trying to send Raven carbon stocks to Europe, UPS, etc' returned them. Thought I'd be smart, and use Parcel Farce, knowing how generally incompetent they are...................NOT with my stock !
Returned with packaging intact, so must have x-rayed it. Never sent as a "stock".
If you look at the various T's & C's, even "water pistols" are banned.

Opening paragraph of the Government Website on export of Firearms.
A “stock” is a “component part” of a firearm. It might only be a piece of wood, or carbon fibre or aluminium, but a barrel is only a piece of steel. But just like a barrel, a rifle with out a stock is fairly useless. We also keep forgetting that since we are no outside the EU sending goods to the EU countries, such as Latvia, is definitely considered an export, whereas moving goods between different EU countries is not “export to another country”.
This applies to:
This information is for guidance only. It is not a statement of law. Before exporting, you should refer to the legal provisions in force at the time. Where legal advice is required, exporters should make their own arrangements.

I work for RM and Parcelforce in engineering
Every single thing that goes abroad is X Rayed and anything Gun related not being shipped through an RFD gets blocked more or less or is meant to and it’s probably cause of the liability side of things
funnily enough they don’t seem to care about scopes or ****
Thanks, for clarity, this was a bare stock, minus any metalwork, or receiver. But I won't be trying again !

It's almost impossible unless you use the services of a professional middleman. I gave up in the end a got a friend to take it to Norway and forward it to Canada from there!
