I stopped buying records direct from USA when the postage charges rocketed & around the same time Royal Mail was privatised , which led to customs charges as well as Royal Mail handling charges being added on top
Buying from European sources wasn't subjected to the same customs (& addiditional Royal Mail handling) charges
Since Dec 31st - Ive bought one record from an EU country, private seller, it was relatively cheap (20 euro) which I bought to see if the incoming customs tariffs etc (& inevitable Royal Mail handling charges) would be applied . I was pleasantly surprised when said record eventually arrived ( it took over double the time to arrive from Spain than it would have pre 31 Dec though)
In the main my intention is, where ever possible to satisfy my (rare soul/ funk) vinyl addiction from record dealers and private sellers in the UK.... I am aware of the possible/ probable additional charges if I do buy from outside of the UK. Sadly is made finding a gem for little money even harder than previously
