Wonder how that will work out when Brexit kicks in ..? already, I expect Germany - UK (now in EU) is different from US - UK in that regard ..
any Swiss or Norwegians , who did not join EU, have responses?
FWIW getting a identical rim makes re using spokes and even lacing pattern simple..

FWiW had bike , wanted to add lights, bought a Shimano-Brompton wheel, then a Schmidt new XS (Better)
So now have 2 wheels to part out, with single wall rims....
I added 2 speed geared crank doubling 3 to 6 over wider range..

Q: which cranks you use?
A: Schlumpf Swiss Mountain Drive 2 speed, [2.5 : 1 reduction] internal geared 54t & "21.6t"....
were it a 50t , the low range is effectively , an even 20t...

I take it switching to double walled rims will require new spokes?

but as the double wall rims have higher profile, the is a good probability you can just change the lacing pattern(exqmple: from x1 to x2).
it can fit

The answer ist clearly yes.
What a bad idea. How often have you gone that route on a Brompton, coming from single-wall-rims going to double wall? I suppose not a single time...
