Is this from GasGas USA or from the main factory in Spain?
The catalog is on the main GG web page. So I would assume available everywhere.

Judging by the back page of the catalogue, it's of US origin. The exchange rate, import duties and shipping to the UK adds a lot to the cost of US made parts. Generally, we have to pay in pounds what the US price is in dollars so about a 40% hike.
A great pity as the quality is 1st class and I would buy several items if the price were nearer the domestic US level.

I just spent a bunch of time on the phone yesterday trying to get a clutch ordered for my 18 xc300.
It seems there's some disconnect between what Rekluse offers and what was printed in this document.
In my case I was calling to check into a Core Manual clutch for an 18. The part number listed in this document is apparently for a 17 and older model. The new part number for the current bikes differs by one digit and isn't available for preorder yet.
I then tried to get them to assemble what I was looking for out of their existing parts as a custom order and in the process found that the Core EXP number listed in this PDF ends at MY2017 and doesn't apply to 18/19 bikes because the pressure plate changed (and stack height?).
Over all this is a great document and I have spent time flipping through the pages and dreaming over it evert day since it was released. Regarding the clutches though, you may want to call Rekluse and clarify what you are looking for compared and get their part number for your dealer vs relying totally on what is provided in the hard parts document.

The slave may have changed, but so did the other parts that have different part numbers on the fiche.
Rekluse has always been upfront stating that some combinations may function across applications but they design their kits to function to a standard that they can guarantee and warranty.
They are in this to make money. Like most businesses trying to make money, they won't likely spend the manpower, machine time, R&D resources etc to change a design if it works to standard across platforms.
Or, everyone can just go with a sample of one random dude on the internet who says he got XYZ to work perfectly.
I sincerely hope it continues to work out for you. I would still advise everyone else to contact Rekluse to verify their part numbers before having their dealers order out of the hard parts catalog.
Random dude? Really? If you read my post this was according to Rekluse, who I was on the phone with when I did it. I'm not going to sacrifice my $1000 clutch on a whim.

I'm sorry you take offense to it but yes, you are some random guy on the internet.
If someone is not affiliated with GasGasUSA or Rekluse in an engineering or other employee position, they are some random guy.
I am some random guy on the internet too. I'm just advocating a customer take the time to CALL Rekluse and verify part numbers before having their dealer order. They'll likely find out in their call, just like I did, that the part number from this Hard Parts PDF that I was requesting status on wasn't actually the part number Rekluse currently recommends for my machine.
No one was there with you and no one knows when your conversation took place, or what the context of your specific conversation with the Rekluse employee was.
I'm not disputing what you said. I ADDED that other parts were changed between your call and the one I made on 09NOV2018.
Enough parts ended up being changed to the point that there is a new product catalog number for the same kits between the 2 model years. IE, There are more part numbers changed on the fiches than simply the one slave assembly you're implying is the only change.
