US customers
Given some news media suggestion of possible change of US tariff for Hong Kong (where I work), I encourage US customers who are considering to purchase a Lumin to place your order ASAP.

Not wanting to relay unconfirmed information or comment on social or political issue, I'd respectfully request interested parties to google US Hong Kong special status tariff.

Re: US customers
My understanding is that, currently, Chinese electronics are subject to a 25% Duty rate heading in to the US. Are you telling me that items made in Hong Kong fall under a different Duty rate?

Re: US customers
"Hong Kong is one of the United States' biggest export markets and it has a zero tariff rate on U.S. imports."
What To Know About Hong Kong's Special Status And What Happens If The U.S. Removes It : NPR
This would include exports from Hong Kong to the US. This is going to be something to watch for in the coming days/weeks on whether this changes or not. Hence Peter's recommendations of ordering NOW if you're on the fence for Lumin devices.

Re: US customers
Yes, there's a repeat button as well as a shuffle button. It's best to repeat playing the current playlist.
