Probably because laws concerning permissible radio bands and
powers are one of the things that vary a great deal from one
country to another, and that set has only been licensed/tested
to meet UK regulations.  As another example, there are those
miniature remote controlled cars that were pretty popular a
couple of years ago.  The cheap import models were available
in four frequencies, so you could race up to four at a time.
Too bad only two of the frequencies were "legal" in the US...

(and another example of the sorts of laws one might run up
against if offering a cross-the-border delivery service.  If
you're an individual shipping a gift that isn't legal (or
won't work) across a border, you're probably ok.  If you've
achieved the status of an "importer" or "exporter", you're
probably liable for fines.)
