I ship internationally (at least 40%), and do enjoy buying and selling
overseas (Europe and Asia, mostly). Recently, shipping to the UK has proven
to be a royal pain in the butt (no pun intended ;-), followed closely by the
Netherlands. The last 2 packages (both AirMail Letter Post, <4 lbs.) were
not delivered, one is MIA, one was returned. A package to the Netherlands
was returned after 4 months and was successfully shipped a second time, no
reason given for its return.
Could someone knowledgeable with the UK postal system have a look at this
package scan and diagnose the reason for the package return?:

I'm told that the package was addressed correctly.
What is the purpose/meaning of the 3 labels (marked 1, 2, 3) applied to the
package?
One of the labels refers to this notice which was updated in March 2002:

I wish the process was as easy as "writing a different address on the parcel
and applying a customs sticker" but it clearly is not.
