Join the Small Business Legislative Council (SBLC) on Tuesday, February 18, for a webinar to hear attorneys from Barnes & Thornburg discuss the evolving landscape of United States trade policy and recent tariff announcements by President Trump. 

• This webinar is free for PRI and SEMA members. 

The webinar will discuss recent announcements on steel and aluminum, as well as discussion on the president's proposed reciprocal tariffs.  

Register for the webinar here, which takes place February 18 from 10:00-11:00 a.m. EST. 

Go Deeper: The Trump Administration recently announced new tariffs on imported steel and aluminum, two important raw materials used in the manufacturing of motor vehicles, parts and accessories. 

• In response to recent developments, SEMA urged members to review the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) of codes for your products and imports. Most automotive parts fall under HTS Chapter 87: "Vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling stock, and parts and accessories thereof." Download the 2025 version of tariff rates for the various automotive subheadings here. 

About the SBLC: The SBLC is an independent, permanent coalition of trade and professional associations that share a common concern for the future of small business.  

• SEMA is a founding member of the SBLC.  

The purpose of the SLBC is twofold: to consolidate the strength and maximize the influence of business on legislative and federal policy issues of importance to the entire small business community; and secondly, to disseminate information on the impact of public policy on small business.
