Lhasa OMS Tariff & Duty FAQ

Lhasa OMS is actively advocating, in collaboration with industry suppliers, partners, colleges, educators, and associations, to ensure that acupuncture needles, herbs, and other essential wellness products remain both accessible and affordable. We are doing everything within our power to protect these vital supplies from the impact of tariffs & duties.

What are tariffs & duties and why are they impacting my wellness supplies that are manufactured in other countries?

Tariffs & duties are extra taxes that a government charges on products imported from other countries. Many wellness products (like acupuncture needles and herbs) are manufactured overseas. When the U.S. assesses tariffs on these imports, it is actually the companies importing that pay the tariff fees— and, unfortunately, those additional costs usually get passed down to the customer.

If you see tariff & duty surcharges applied at cart and checkout, it’s because the companies are now paying new tariff fees to get the same products into the U.S.

How long will the tariff & duty surcharge last?

This is an uncertain time and beyond our control. It is dependent upon negotiations between the United States and many nations who export to us.

For your wellness supplies, unless there's a major trade deal or a policy change, you should expect tariff-inflated prices to stay for the foreseeable future depending on the country of origin. As soon as we can lower the surcharge or eliminate it, we will make those changes quickly and accordingly.

What is the latest news on tariff & duty policies?

Tariff changes are happening in real-time. While some countries have received temporary tariff & duty pauses, this is all subject to change.

How will tariff & duty charges appear during checkout?

Tariff and duty charges will be combined into a single subtotal line labeled “Tariff & Duties” at checkout, shown alongside shipping, tax, and your order total. This provides a clear, consolidated view of any applicable import-related costs.

If a Tariff & Duties amount appears, it reflects fees associated with the product’s country of origin. If no amount is shown, the cost has either already been incorporated into the product price or the product is domestically sourced.

For customers who need detailed, item-level tariff information, please contact our Customer Service Team and we will provide a full breakdown upon request.

Tariff and duty charges may be adjusted or removed as conditions change.
