Evolve expensive in UK

Why are Evolve skateboards so much more expensive in the UK? In the UK the Stoke costs £949.00 GBP. Compare this to other countries:

• In New Zealand its £650 ($1,249.00 NZD)
• In Australia its £660 ($1,199.00 AUD)

 

In the USA, ~865 Pound Sterling ($1149 USD). Maybe price difference due to costs for shipping, distribution, import taxes, overhead to maintain specific country's service and distribution centers, retailer margins......

Years ago purchased a backpack directly from NZ dealer. Unavailable in the USA. A year or two later they opened up an online only USA store. I paid significantly less than the USA online store price. Even if you factor in shipping costs. Also, works the opposite way. Kiwi half-bro purchases some windsurfing gear when on Maui. Either unavailable in NZ or very expensive. Life.
