### UCP Restrictions — UK Firearms Law

**Firearm licensing restrictions apply to all UCP sessions.**

The following product types **cannot be ordered via UCP** and must be purchased in store or via direct contact with the business:

- Section 1 FAC firearms (rifles, pistols, prohibited weapons)
- Section 2 SGC shotguns
- Section 5 prohibited weapons
- Moderators (silencers) — require an FAC slot
- Any product flagged as restricted at the API layer

These restrictions are enforced server-side. Attempts to add restricted products to a UCP checkout session will return **HTTP 403** with a message indicating the product requires a licence and cannot be purchased via this channel. Agents must surface this to the user and direct them to contact the store directly.

**Do not attempt to work around 403 responses** — they exist for UK firearms law compliance.
