Need a bit more info. What type/model are you talking about?
If it's an auto it may be the type of licence required in the uk due to magazine capacity.
 
Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong.

I thought that an FAC shotgun is one that required a firearms certificate (e.g, semi auto/pump shotgun that has a magazine capacity that isn't restricted, or something with barrels less than 24").

Non FAC shotguns are ones that are covered by a standard shotgun certificate (over under, side by side, semis and pumps with magazines crimped/restricted to 2+1 etc)
