The tariff is based on the country of origin for the item. So in the case of LPs - the vast majority of which are made in the EU - this would mean a tariff of 15%. This either has to be absorbed by the seller, or added to the cost of the item for the US customer.
How this will work in practice is far from clear at this point, so as of today (26th August) we are suspending shipping to the US - temporarily, we hope.
We'll update as soon as it's possible to do so. Apologies to everyone affected.
I bought a record back in July that won't ship until October. I don't know where it comes from, but if it comes from the EU, I guess those guys just get screwed.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Is it worth it? And assuming so, what steps should I take here oh turntable heads of RM?
So I got this back today after a full service and new AT-M95ML cartridge installed. Bought a Rega phono pre-amp and must say it's quite the upgrade on my old AT-LP60X turntable.
Sade's Diamond Life and Talk Talk's Spirit of Eden sound fantastic.
Really glad I could give this unit a new lease of life.
