Costco is well known for having lower prices than other big-box stores, but even the warehouse club won’t be immune from tariff-related price hikes. During a March earnings call, Costco CEO Ron Vachris noted that “about a third of our sales in the U.S. are imported from other countries.”
“It is difficult to predict the impact of tariffs,” he said.
Although Vachris said that Costco’s “goal will be to minimize the impact of related cost increases to our members,” it’s still likely that some items will see price increases.
Here’s a look at the Costco food items that are likely to get more expensive due to tariffs.
Pure Vanilla Extract
- Current price: $13.99 for 16 fluid ounces
Costco’s pure vanilla extract is made from imported vanilla beans. Although Costco does not specify where the beans are imported from, many of the world’s vanilla beans come from Madagascar, Mashed reported, which will be hit with a 47% tariff starting in July.
Kirkland Signature Colombian Supremo Coffee
- Current price: $22.49 for 3 pounds
Many of Costco’s coffee offerings are made from imported beans, including this store-brand coffee made from Colombian beans. Although President Donald Trump rescinded the proposed 25% tariff on Colombia, the country is still subject to the 10% tariff rate imposed on all countries.
Kirkland Signature Extra Virgin Italian Olive Oil
- Current price: $27.99 for 2 liters
Italy is subject to the blanket 10% tariff rate, which could make this olive oil made from Italian olives get more expensive.
Mifroma Raclette Whole Wheel Cheese
- Current price: $149.99 for 11 pounds
Costco sells a hefty 11-pound wheel of raclette cheese — that could be coming with a heftier price tag soon. The cheese is imported from Switzerland, which faces a 32% rate tariff beginning in July.
Kirkland Signature Organic Ground Saigon Cinnamon
- Current price: $19.99 for two 10.7-ounce containers
Saigon cinnamon originates from Southeast Asia, with the U.S. getting much of its cinnamon supply from Sri Lanka. The country will be subject to a 44% reciprocal tariff beginning on July 9.
Bouchard Napolitains Milk Chocolate Assortment
- Current price: $54.99 for 4 pounds
Costco sells a number of imported chocolate products, including this milk chocolate assortment that originates from Belgium. All imported chocolates are subject to a minimum 10% tariff.
Editor’s note: Costco prices and U.S. tariff rates are accurate as of May 25, 2025, and are subject to change.
