Prestige are a registered Tradition dealer and can supply older, new VAG parts as a result.

After brexit a lot of companies in the EU couldnt really be bothered with the extra admin of customs paperwork to ship to the UK. They had plenty of business in the EU which was far easier to handle. Even the couriers made a pretty half arsed job of it all if I'm honest.

Its taken a while for companies to bother gearing up to supply the UK again as there are specific rules and exemptions so its not as simple as just 'treat it like you're shipping outside the EU'

We (Prestige) had the opposite issue, supplying parts into the EU. Its been a frustrating couple of years of new red tape but it has generally settled down now.

That's been the reason (excuse for some) why so many companies, including eBay and Amazon sellers, won't ship to Northern Ireland, or if they do, they charge exorbitant rates. I was looking at buying a digital torque wrench adaptor off Amazon, but they were charging £40 to ship it from GB, for an item weighing about 1/2kg. Never bothered, and ended up buying a proper torque wrench at a later date.

It's that messed up that some companies in GB are sending goods to NI with customs declarations on them!
