    A bit small in picture but body of text:
    "Good morning,

    Scopes and sights are not considered to be a part pursuant to Section 2 of the Arms Act 1983, and as such, there is no requirement to obtain a permit to import for these items.

    If you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know."
    Snap! You beat name to it. Let's call it a double confirmation. They've probably got a stored standard reply for responding to the same old question over and over...
    Ha ha they must be wondering about a spate of enquiries re scopes.
    Here's my reply received at 08:33 this morning -

    Good morning,

    A telescopic sight is not considered to be a part pursuant to Section 2 of the Arms Act 1983, and as such, there is no requirement to obtain a permit to import for this item.

    If you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know.

    Kind regards,
