I dont believe there are any issues.
Ive had a friend who got caught up on youshop, but know others who have bought sheap chinese ones off aliexpress.
Some people even use them as spotter scopes on their telescopes for looking at the stars, so they technically are not a firearm.

I suppose a sling is now classed as a "part" going by that reasoning?
