The last I read, de minimis still applied. I didn't know until now that was done with.
As an avid collector of vinyl records: FUCK! I've got no problem sending $50 to a European artist who's selling a limited run of records out of their living room. Hell, if it's an artist I really like, I'll spend $70. I'm not about to spend $70 and the artist get half of it.
Spending ludicrous amounts of cash of 12-inch pieces of plastic is totally fine with me, but I want my money going to the artist who's making the music I love, not a government I voted against.

No more Lego pick a brick! Way more money for temu bullshit, if they even still ship here! Etc
