It does not happen every day, but most of the time if the part is a straight replacement piece it is available to all markets.
My 2010 Cadillac CTS went into the dealer for service in 2018 and was diagnosed as having a problem with the rubber coupling between the rear-drive shaft and the transmission output. The CTS is an all-wheel-drive station wagon.
So I went looking, with the GM dealers blessing, and found a coupling in the United States from a company specializing in GM parts and they had just the coupling, which cost $75 versus $900 for the driveshaft. Curiosity got the best of me, and we removed just the turbocharger wastegate actuator from the vehicle. Low and behold, printed on the side of the part in question was the Audi part number. We called the dealer and sure enough the part number was a good number, but they did not list it as applicable for the Q5, but just about every other Audi.
