That is the relevant difference. In that a country demanding taxes from a foreign seller has little options to get them - the more so if they are in limbo without international treaties. Doing it the wrong way around is rather a bizarre notion, even more so when it comes from a fairly small and irrelevant country that has given up all options of cross border litigation. The probable outcome is that many Brits that come up against that regulation would see their purchases from abroad confiscated and destroyed by HM Revenue and Customs without compensation - given that, there is a fair chance they'll correct it before the cry to return to the EU gets too loud...
