Important Tax Information for Retails Sales on Saturday, June 1

BEA is permitting smaller exhibitors and remainders companies to sell direct to consumers on Saturday, June 1. If your booth is in the Remainders Pavilion or is less than 300 sq. ft., you will be permitted to sell product from the show floor at BEA as long as you are registered with the State of New York with a NY Tax ID #. All pertinent information needed to secure a NY Tax ID # can be found on this page. We do not have a baseline on what kind of demand there will be, only suggesting that it will be modest.

Exhibitor Insurance

• General Liability Insurance is a great program for
  1. Smaller exhibitors who do not have insurance
  2. Larger exhibitors who do not want to use their own insurance
  3. Foreign exhibitors whose insurance will not pay a claim that is brought in a US court.

Exhibitor Event Cancellation Insurance is also available, which protects exhibitors against loss of incurred expenses (hotel rooms, airfare etc.)
