Probably the same strategy used for years in the car industry, where units were built as CKD (Complete Knock Down) so basically a complete set of parts ready for assembly.
And yes, avoiding some taxes.

^Ah, that makes sense. Wonder if that was how it was done for certain.

Not sure, but, it all depends on how much was being made in Ireland. It makes sense to do final assembly in Ireland for the European market
Back on topic, let's hope that Macsimus comes back soon, so I can discuss their Ethernet card with them. 😀

Themk,
I'm not sure what you mean by "buzzing," but thanks for offering. I'm not too serious about making my card work, though. It was a long shot that someone would have the granddaughter card as a spare, but I thought I'd ask.
I messaged olePigeon a while back about some SE/30 Ethernet cards, which he still has, I think. I may just pick one up from him instead.

by 'buzzing' I mean testing for continuity.
Now, that's okay if you don't want to do it, but I do have all the components sitting on my desk that would be needed to build a daughterboard. Basically, what I would need for you to buzz is the header on the card, to the pins on the SONIC-T chip. It looks like building a transceiver based on this chip wouldn't be too hard.

Ah, got it. I don't have any test equipment, though, so no buzzing here. But thanks for your response.
