Beginning August 29th, the U.S. government is expected to impose a flat tariff of $80–$240 per shipment on medications imported from Tier 1 countries (Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand).
ScriptSourcing is actively monitoring this development and will provide timely updates. While it remains unclear which medications will be affected, members will not be impacted, as tariffs are handled at the pharmacy level. Although policies can shift, we are preparing under the assumption that these tariffs will take effect as planned.
ScriptSourcing is Taking Proactive Measures:
We are shipping as many medications as possible before August 29th to help lower costs for employers. We will continue to monitor costs closely and communicate updates promptly Above all, our priority is ensuring members receive their medications reliably and without disruption.
If any sourcing countries remain exempt from tariffs, we will maximize use of those options.
We have successfully navigated similar policy changes in the past, and our commitment remains the same: protecting employer savings while ensuring members have reliable access to medications.
