As American consumers seek relief from soaring medication prices, many are turning to Canada for more affordable options. Despite the benefits of purchasing medications across the border, concerns about potential U.S. tariffs on imports can leave consumers feeling anxious. This article aims to clarify the current situation and to reassure those considering ordering medications from Canada.
At the time of writing this article, no tariffs have been imposed on medications being imported from Canada. To support this statement - at this time there is no evidence of a tariff being levied on a patient that has imported medications from Canada, or another country, into the USA. The current U.S. government has previously threatened tariffs on various goods shipped from Canada, leading to confusion and concern among consumers. These threats are continuously evolving, and it can be challenging to determine which products might be affected at any given time.
However, for medications specifically, there is good news: as long as shipments are limited to a three-month supply, no tariffs have been applied. This policy allows American consumers to safely order their medications without the burden of additional costs.
For Americans exploring their options for obtaining medications from Canada, understanding how to comply with shipping regulations is crucial. The guidelines are straightforward:
I am concerned about the tariffs being levied on shipments of medications coming from Canada or anywhere else. What should I know?
Currently, as long as your order is restricted to a three-month supply, no tariffs will be applied. The U.S. government allows for the personal importation of a 90-day supply of medications shipped directly to your door.
Will tariffs be applied to my order when I place it with you?
As of now, tariffs are not applicable to orders placed with us. Should a tariff be implemented, it would be charged at the U.S. Post Office; however, no tariffs are being applied to a 90-day supply at this time.
Will your prices change due to tariffs being imposed?
No, our prices will remain stable as no tariffs are currently affecting shipments of medications for personal use. The threat of tariffs has not caused any changes in pricing.
Will you charge an additional fee due to tariffs?
Absolutely not. We are not imposing any additional fees related to potential tariffs. Americans are permitted to import a 90-day supply of medication from Canada without incurring tariffs or extra charges.
How should patients order medications to comply with the 90-day supply policy?
To comply with the 90-day supply limit, orders should be made for the appropriate quantities. For example, if you are taking a medication twice daily, you can order up to 180 doses of that medication. For a medication like Ozempic that is taken once a week, a twelve-week supply (3 months) is equivalent to 3 pens or 12 doses total.
The overarching message for U.S. patients is clear: you can confidently order a 90-day supply of medications from Canada without the fear of being affected by tariffs at the time of writing this article, March 12, 2025. With the right information and compliance with regulations, you can access affordable medication safely and legally. For additional guidance or questions regarding your specific medications, do not hesitate to reach out or consult with our Canadian mail order pharmacy experts. Your health and peace of mind should always come first.
