Deal Details
Hurry before price jump.
Less than $1 a pound.

The price of Royal Basmati Rice in the U.S. is likely to increase due to recently imposed tariffs on Indian imports. A 20-pound bag of Royal Basmati Rice at Costco currently costs around $24. With the U.S. imposing a 50% tariff on Indian basmati rice (25% reciprocal tariff plus an additional 25% ad valorem duty), the cost could rise significantly.


Royal White Basmati Rice is a versatile ingredient for all of your meals. Brought to you by Royal, America's #1 best-selling Basmati rice, our long grain white rice is truly authentic from the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains. The harmony of climate, fertile soil, and pure spring water produce this extraordinary, delicate-tasting grain. Our naturally-aromatic long grain rice is harvested by India's most expert farmers and is aged in temperature-monitored silos for the perfect non-sticky texture and fullest flavor. It is easy to cook on the stovetop, microwave, oven, or rice cooker and can be used in a wide variety of main and side dishes, including curry, pilaf, and other recipes.

Tariffs were to start today…. can you confirm price and if still $17.48 for 20 lb would be a Slicker option for Sam's Members.

No pic needed… I trust you.
You might want to start a thread or I'll try to edit this one.

Basmati doesn't go stale … they say it gets better with age.

They had Kitchen King on clearance at Walmart near me, $5 for 5lb bags which isn't bad for the size.

Royal Basmati is bland and tastes nothing like Basmati rice.

Tariffs are generally based on the date an item is imported into the country—not the purchase or shipping date. In U.S. law, the key moment is when the goods physically enter U.S. customs territory and are officially recorded as imports.
