I've got a computer I need to ship to my friend in America. Today I went to Nova Poshta and tried to send it out but the guy at the post office said i had to specify what model it was? He said if I didn't specify exactly what kind of computer it is there's a chance it would be thrown out at the customs checks?

It's just a regular small form factor computer made from used parts and it's put together in a 3d printed case I designed myself, I'm wondering if there's any way I would be able to ship it or if what the guy at Nova Poshta said is true. Which to me doesn't make much sense since I assume people ship their computers if they don't want to travel with them as luggage. Any advice would be appreciated, I'll probably check Ukrposhta next and maybe call the NP customer support.
