Q2 Tariffs QS 2026

Published:

2026 Q2 Tariffs Quickie Survey, published by PMMI – The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, examines how members managed ongoing tariff changes from Q2 2025 through Q2 2026 using a targeted membership survey and quarter-over-quarter comparisons. The analysis indicates impacts clustered across procurement and customer pricing, with focus areas including increased procurement costs for imported parts, price adjustments for domestic customers, and participation in tariff refund processes. Emerging patterns show variation by revenue band and common mitigation approaches such as passing costs, listing tariffs separately, or pursuing refunds, and charts highlight these comparative benchmarks. The report reveals where engineering teams are prioritizing investments to strengthen operational resilience.
