Restricting sales to UK is nothing to do with brexit and is common, even if forbidden by eu law.
Remeber DVD's had regions, designed to prevent cheaper grey imports from working in your dvd player, so as to allow western price fixing.
I remember years back, there was shop selling asian market ps1/ps2 console games to the UK. Perfectly legal to do and no court would stop them, so Sony bankrupted them by sueing from 20 different countries or so at the same time. Legal costs made it impossible to defend, problem solved for Sony.
Not fair, but you cant get in the way of big business profits.
