I've been getting generic meds from a Canadian pharmacy ... over $600/month here, approx $20/month from Canada. Free shipping and no import duty b/c of the de minimis exemption. I am waiting to see what effect the tariffs will have on personally imported meds, and how those tariffs will be collected. Fortunately the pharmacy set it up so I could stock up for the next 18 months at the current price ... we'll see what happens after that.

I know the Canadian pharmacies will be working hard to help us as much as they can.

I'm pretty sure the lack of import duty on pharm from Canada isn't due to the de minimis exemption. thesquanderer Jul 31 #4
