Kenji, IDKWTF happened with that purchase but, from my math, (if the VAT was 20% at the time you purchased) you paid more for the block and tax than you should have.

$90.49 -20%=$72.39

Kentucky sales tax is 6% from what I was able to find online so $72.39 x 6%=$4.34. I'm also not sure if EK should be charging tax for US customers because I think sales tax is only collected if you have a retail outlet (brick and mortar) in that state (someone please correct me if I'm wrong on this).

This block is now also "orderable" from FCPU as of today.

@Eddy, I have one point of contention with the link I just provided, the very last line of the "features". I see your still sore over the ruckus the "vets" of the community made in forcing you to add the standoffs to your blocks. PPL with lots of experience mounting GPU blocks were shorting/killing cards at that time and it had nothing to do with their skill or experience level. With that wording you are inferring that everyone that uses the standoffs is incapable of properly installing your block. . .hmm. . .oh, wait a minute...your R3G block comes with standoffs and ppl are still frying those like hotcakes on a griddle. Maybe you should look at your products before blaming others.
