It's more a hairline crack and it has not gone through to the steerer, mayb a resin can fix it?
Probably one of the london carbon repair shops can repair it locally than sending it all the way to Europe, especially with the postal service happening atm.
HoKe-
A hairline crack on the outside of the tube means there's been to much tension on the inside of the tube (the expander too tight?). So have looked after it by an expert.
I'm sure London carbon repair shops have the same knowledge and skills to repair it. I was only giving the Dutch shop as an example. Maybe new forks are the cheapest solution?

Can be replaced. I know there's a company in The Netherlands that replaces them. (results in a slightly heavier fork as they cut away the broken part, put a smaller tube in what's left of the original and than slide a new one over this smaller one).
