Walmart: Show us the Tariff Tax fee next to product price
Dear CEO,
Request for Tariff Tax Transparency on Product Listings
As loyal Walmart customers, We’re writing to urge Walmart to take a leadership role in pricing transparency by clearly displaying tariff-related tax fees alongside product prices on your website.
Many consumers have noticed unexplained price increases, and while some of these may stem from external factors like tariffs, the average shopper is left guessing. The federal government does not shop for household goods or the latest fashion trends on Walmart—consumers do. We deserve to know when and why prices increase, especially when tariffs are involved.
Walmart has built its reputation on convenience and trust. To maintain that trust, it’s time to provide clear, upfront information about any tariff-related costs that affect product pricing. This will empower consumers to make informed choices and reinforce Walmart’s commitment to transparency.
We ask that Walmart listen to its consumer base and set an industry standard by leading in price clarity.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Why is this important?
Every day, millions of consumers shop on Walmart without knowing the full story behind rising prices. One of the hidden factors driving up costs is tariffs—government-imposed fees on imported goods. But right now, Walmart does not show these tariff-related tax fees next to product prices. That lack of transparency means consumers are paying more without understanding why.
If the government won’t shop for clothes, electronics, or everyday essentials on Walmart, then Walmart should listen to the people who do—you and me.
This petition calls on Walmart to clearly display tariff-related fees alongside product prices, so we can make informed purchasing decisions. By signing, you’re standing up for honesty, transparency, and consumer rights in one of the world’s largest marketplaces.
Join us in telling Walmart: If prices go up, show us why.
