Rifle Stock stuck in the USA needs a ride to South Africa

[XLI]

Hello,

I am new to the forum and hoping to find some assistance or advice. I am a South African and recently purchased a Woox Chassis in the USA. I had it shipped to someone I know in Savannah GA, because Woox said they wouldn't ship outside the USA. Little did I know that there was a very good reason for that . So as soon as my friend tried to ship the stock to me, the courier company said they can't ship it as it is a "weapon part".

Anyhow, what I have heard from some informed guys is that I need to either sell it to someone in the USA to recoup my costs or I need to sell it to someone who is coming to hunt in SA from the US. All that hunter needs to do is just put it in their rifle back/case and say its a spare stock. Does anyone have experience in this regard and would anybody be able to help me?

FYI
To legally export a rifle stock from the US, you'll need to obtain an export license from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). This requires completing ATF Form 9 (5320.9) and demonstrating compliance with export regulations. The U.S. State Department may also require a signed copy of the order and may request an International Import Certificate from the receiving country. Additionally, the receiving country's regulations must be considered, as they may have their own import requirements.

FML. Well then I guess I am selling a Woox stock. On the one side it is awesome to live in a country with such great hunting opportunities, but on the other hand the limited/restricted access (when compared to the USA) to equipment really sucks.
