I wonder how you are searching at the DSS site. I've learnt to find what I want on the CMSL site, scalp the part number from there and enter it into the DSS parts number search box. It was less obvious on their old format. The parts they show on the site model search is just the tip of the iceberg.

Plus DSS buys from CMS anyway

Bought a lot of parts from CMSNL and they charged me VAT at 20% even though their site says "no VAT on non EU countries".
I phoned them to say UK is not an EU country and was informed that VAT for UK was still payable as that was part of the #@%$ deal. But no import duty.
Tory twats.

And in case it applies, they will only post to the country and address on your bank card.
While travelling I tried to get them to post parts to me and no go!

That's what happens when you have gormless politians and greedy bankers running the country 😡

It's done to make a seamless import for goods under £135 otherwise VAT would be payable when it gets here. Over that amount VAT is paid on arrival in UK. Presume there is a reciprocal arrangement for goods going the other way, but don't know.
This is what AI makes of it:
Items that are worth under £135 that are purchased from overseas sellers do not incur import VAT, but the overseas seller must still be VAT-registered in the UK, and must still pay the VAT to HMRC.
