The Pharma chains get product at world wholesale, and in the case of Ozempic = about $100 at the pharmacy where it is picked up = pharmacy pays $75. Same cost base = $500-900 in the USA. 30% tariff will be based on the $75 base import cost = small
The pharmacies are also in on it https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11147645/
