Does VCRA apply to buying parts/components?

I... err... pulled the trigger so to speak, lets home a skirmisher membership is enough of a defence should the question be asked.

 
I've bought loads of parts from Aliexpress and have never had any of them stopped by customs (famous last words and all that).

 
I've just ordered a cheapo chinesium suppressor from Aliexpress and it's gone through heathrow no problems, just waiting for it to get to my local delivery office. 

I know a lot of it will depend on how the package is labelled and what it looks like (ie if it says "gun parts" then a red flag would be raised. I think the majority of those sellers are wise to this and try and make it being stopped as unlikely as possible.
