BEMA-U Market Minute – Navigating Tariffs & Trade Policy in 2026 (A $149 Value – Complimentary For BEMA Members)
Tariff policy remains in flux as we head into 2026. Our industry is managing steep IEEPA and Section 301 tariffs—some as high as 50%—on imported machinery, parts, steel, aluminum, and copper. A new federal review could also introduce tariffs on robotics used in U.S. manufacturing.

Recent trade agreements offer potential opportunities, but benefits for our sector remain uncertain. A pending Supreme Court ruling on IEEPA tariffs may bring temporary relief, while President Trump has signaled new tariff actions if needed.

With policy shifts accelerating and tariff fatigue growing, what should our industry expect? And how do we prepare?

From traffic patterns and neighboring exhibitors to entrances, education, food and other attendee destinations, we’ll examine the factors that can influence how attendees discover and engage with your booth.
