Yes, unfortunately it is all too common for manufacturers to limit 
distribution of their products between countries. The usual purpose of 
this is to allow local distributors to make a higher profit with 
excessive markups.  From reports I've received, that also seems to be 
the case with distribution of Fair-Rite products in the UK, and may also 
be true in EU.

There are sometimes other reasons for such a limitation, like 
restrictions placed on business or EMC and safety inspections by various 
countries, or the difficulty of exchanging funds, and so on.
