On June 24, another package of sanctions against Russia was introduced in Paris.
In particular, it prohibits any import of vinyl records into Russia. Vinyl as a material falls under Article 3k of Regulation 833 on sectoral sanctions against the Russian Federation.
The ban also applies to transport for personal use, with the only exceptions being consular and diplomatic missions.

Svyatoslav Kononov, co-author of the YouTube channel about vinyl records, told NSN that all records found during delivery will be destroyed without notice or opportunity. Some stores have already announced the suspension of sales. However, a complete stop is not expected. However, due to sanctions, the cost of such records is expected to increase by 20-30%.
Reason for the price increase: search for new routes for import into Russia.
There is no universal route for all companies, each built a system of work after the introduction of sanctions “with sweat, blood and money”. Buyers are expecting a rise in prices for goods. We predict that vinyl records will rise in price by up to 10%.

Industry representatives are confident that there will be no final ban on the supply of vinyl records. However, we should definitely expect an increase in their cost. [Сноб]
