Are they paying tariff fees or flying under the radar without declaring?

It seems it’s under the radar. He says the cost of what was ordered was $170, and the declared value was $7 US on the paperwork. No duties seem to have been levied. Total weight of package was 385 grams (13 oz).

I just was in touch with Anil whom i used about 8 months ago for Biocon rapamycin. he quoted a higher price and for only 100 pills than my last order which was for 120 pills as I recall. Plus there was a 50% tariff fee then shipping of 30$

Thanks. It seems there are differences between vendors. Things might be settling, but not yet fully. I don’t have any needs right now (more accurately there are meds I want that are not available on IndiaMart), but down the line I’ll need these vendors again.
I would shop around and check the other vendors mentioned in this thread. Update us if you find a better deal.
I contacted jagdish whom I think a lot of people use. his quote (yesterday) was 101 for 100 tablets or 166 for 200. (which is 19 less than the other vendor for 100 tabs). I replied back to ask if that was for biocon (which I had asked for a quote for) as he didn’t indicate what product he was quoting; and if he accepted WISE payments which is what i use.
He did accept WISE in the past. I don’t know if he still does.
Originally he was my favorite vendor, but he became less communicative to emails. And I only contact India vendors by email.
I would suggest trying some other vendors from the ones mentioned in the thread."“Buy Rapamycin Online - List of Reliable Pharmacies”

'Ill look at that list. But so far he has been very quick to respond. I sent him a msg this morning and i see tonight he has already responded. maybe sales are down due to the USA turmoil and he’s hungry for sales…

Jagdish has always been reliable and responsive in my experience.

He was when I first started using him. Later on, his response time and answers to questions became problematic. Maybe my orders weren’t big enough for him to pay much attention to.

My order shipped from India on 11/12 and according to usps tracking it arrived at my local post office at 4:26am today. Ironically if it arrives today this might actually end up being the quickest delivery (8 days) I’ve had yet and I’ve been ordering from outside the US for over a decade. I’ll post if there are any tariffs.

Yes, things seem a lot quicker now, maybe because of a dramatically decreased volume of shipments(?)

“Same here. Gave up. Moved on.”
to whom if you feel you can answer?
I’ll check with the vendor for up-to-date info. Drop me a direct message.
Just reporting that I received my order very quickly and with no price increases

Same and no tariff.
At this time, orders from India seem to be flowing quickly. Things are flying through customs now. In any case, this is a window of opportunity to order new supplies from India. Who knows how long it will last?
My latest order had no tariff and arrived quickly.

True… Christmas shipments in the US may ramp up soon too, slowing delivery times.
The area that was sold out of rapa was Guadalajara, which is the other end of the country. You are fortunate to have that as an option. I had no issues at all bringing the meds over in my luggage.
