Usa Tariffs - Vinyl Trading - Friday 29th August 2025

Usa tariffs kick in tomorrow Friday 29th August 2025

Discogs has pushed out an informative article which may be of interest to anyone who sells vinyl to the Usa

You can read the article via

It does make two important points, quotes below

Records and Other Physical Media Should Be Exempt

Vinyl records, CDs, cassettes, and other recorded media should be exempt from any tariffs under US presidential executive order.

The executive order going into effect on August 29, 2025, removes a long-standing “de minimis” tariff exemption for most goods valued under USD $800. However, this change does not apply to “informational materials” like music media, which are still exempt from tariffs under US law 50 USC 1702(b)(3).

Simply put, music and informational media have always been exempt from tariffs and continue to be so at this time. This means neither sellers nor collectors on Discogs should be charged additional customs fees.

Be Prepared for Potential Delays and Complications

Taxes and duties are challenging to navigate, even when the rules aren’t changing. While music and informational media should be exempt, customs and postal carriers may experience delays or mistakes as they adjust to the new requirements

Myself am not planning any changes just yet to the way I do sell to the Usa, but am in a wait and see what happens mode

Members, how are you reacting to these changes?
