That translates to - “We don’t want to”

For reasons such as the UK market isn’t worth the effort registering and the administration of dealing with HMRC for individual UK VAT imports, they are fed up with customers complaining about delay and import charges, the turnover isn’t worth the cost of bulk export/import, or they just don’t like you 

Then it must be what you say, but, why else would they reply to other UK customers in there that "the UK market was very big for us and we are doing everything we can to resume shipping"? Surely if they don't give a crap they can just leave those questions unanswered? Something is odd indeed.

They are supposed to be in Poland, I thought we have free trading with Europe still?

Free trade means that there are no additional trade tariffs such as import duty.

 

While we were in the EU a sale across the EU was treated in the same manner as within the same country.  No export/import, but you would pay Polish VAT

 

If there had been only Brexit and the trade agreement then it would be an export from Poland (which then could now be exempt from Polish VAT as an export) and an import to the UK (which would have import VAT due)

The Polish exporter could reduce the price by deducting local VAT, could still charge local VAT and you have the potential to reclaim it, (or charge the full price keeping the extra without invoicing it as VAT)

 

But irrespective of Brexit new international trade regulations introduced methods for exporters to register with other countries for their VAT

If we were still in the EU then a sale from Poland to UK would still just be treated as a domestic sale paying Polish VAT, and non EU sales such as from Hong Kong would be subject to the new process 

 

But we are out of the EU, so the Polish retailer exports to the UK charging UK VAT and paying it directly to UK HMRC

Or they don’t, and the UK customer gets a bill on import
