This is the response I got from the BN customer service:

Dear Customer,
Thank you for your email regarding NOOK Books purchases for
international customers.
Because selling books in digital format to international customers
involves international copyright laws, tariffs, VAT taxes, currency
conversions, etc., only US and Canadian residents are able to purchase
NOOK Books on the Barnes & Noble website at this time.

The interesting thing is, then, why was I allowed to purchase books before I got my account blocked in the first place. BTW, today I got a new credit card and tried to purchase a book with it, but I couldn't do it either.
