The ISO standard country codes it's GB the term UK comes only when you are dealing with both Great Britain and her overseas dependence such as the Falkland Isles, British Virgin isles etc at the same time.
Given that 90% of cases this is not the case (certainly not with deliveries for example) you would use the term GB and then mark the dependencies with (UK) beside them. As for the US custom officials if they insist on erroneously using UK when it should be GB then perhaps they should use the full title.

I have actually been forced to re-fill out double sided immigration forms over that, and it can't be just one border official, because every time since then I used UK and was never corrected.
Almost every other form I have to use Wielka Brytania or Anglia these days, the Poles don't seem to like any paperwork to be made shorter.

The UK is the United Kingdom of Great Britain (England, Scotland, Wales) and Northern Ireland.
The Falklands are an overseas territory of the UK, not part of the UK itself, whilst it's inhabitants are full British Citizens (since the war).
More simply, Great Britain like the British Isles is a geographical region, whereas the UK is the political entity; furthermore we travel on UK passports, hence US customs famed bureaucracy.

Funny, I have exactly the same situation with exactly the same banks.
With Product Feeds, any idea when and are there any other suppliers of feeds you particularly like?

The reason for the country code "GB" instead of "UK" is actually that both the UK and Ukraine wanted UK, and the compromise was that neither got it - Ukraine got UA, and United Kingdom got GB. In other words, the country code "GB" misleadingly refers to the United Kingdom including Northern Ireland, not just Great Britain.
Of course most people have no idea that "GB" is the correct country code and use UK instead so I've more or less given up trying to use GB.
