Demonstration Equipment: Beating the Tariff trap

In a world where global trade dynamics shift overnight and tariff regulations seem to change with the wind, businesses, universities, and public institutions are under increasing pressure to find cost-effective ways to maintain operations without sacrificing quality or efficiency. One of the smartest, most underutilized strategies can be investing in used equipment.
Why Tariffs Are a Growing Problem
Over the past few years/days, we’ve seen a rise in protectionist trade policies, sudden tariff hikes, and retaliatory duties—particularly in manufacturing and industrial sectors. Importing new machinery or production equipment can now come with a hefty premium, sometimes adding 10%, 25%, or even more to the total cost.
For businesses with slim margins or complex supply chains, these extra costs are more than just inconvenient—they threaten viability.
What we offer our customers
We believe that customers should have the ability to see, use, and confirm the viability of their equipment purchase. As part of our business model we purchase demonstration equipment to help our customers make better purchasing decisions. This equipment is now available for sale at discounted prices and without the burden of tariffs. Below is a list of the items available for immediate delivery.
