What to know before going to EIMA International from Spain
EIMA International is promoted by FederUnacoma, the Italian national federation of agricultural machinery manufacturers. It is organised by FederUnacoma Surl together with BolognaFiere. It is held every two years, so the 2026 edition is the next opportunity after the previous one, and the following one will not come until two years later.
The fair covers tractors, machinery, components, implements and technology for farming, livestock, forestry and gardening or green-area care. A company should check that its product fits one of those areas before booking a stand or planning a visit. The official website, eima.it, is the reference for the exhibitor and visitor conditions of each edition.
The import table on this page is a context indicator, not a forecast of demand for machinery. It shows what the country declares as imports in agri-food chapters such as fruit and nuts, cereals, coffee, live animals and fertilizers, according to UN Comtrade for 2025. A manufacturer can use it to see which farming activities are most tied to foreign supply, and so which customers it may meet at the fair.
For a company exporting from Spain, goods sent to Italy move within the EU single market, so the customs duties of a third-country sale do not apply in the same way. Product rules, such as machinery safety marking and labelling, depend on the exact product. Check them in the EU legislation on EUR-Lex and, for the product's classification and trade conditions, in Access2Markets.
Preparing the visit means defining in advance which product lines you will show, which type of distributor you want to meet and what technical documentation you need in Italian or English. If you plan to bring samples or equipment, the organiser's rules on transport and stand set-up for that edition apply. Ask for them through the official website before you commit to a date.
Frequently asked questions
When and where is EIMA International 2026?
EIMA International 2026 runs from 10 to 14 November 2026 at BolognaFiere, in Bologna, Italy. The official website, eima.it, publishes the current opening hours and visitor information for that edition.
How often is EIMA International held?
It is held every two years. The 2026 edition is the next one on the calendar, so a company that misses it has to wait for the following biennial edition.
What products are shown at EIMA International?
The fair shows tractors, machinery, components, implements and advanced technology solutions for agricultural, livestock, forestry and gardening or green-area work. It is a fair of machinery and equipment, not of agricultural produce.
Who organises EIMA International?
It is promoted by FederUnacoma, the Italian national federation of agricultural machinery manufacturers. FederUnacoma Surl, its services company, organises it in collaboration with BolognaFiere, which provides the venue.
Do I pay customs duties when exporting machinery from Spain to Italy?
Spain and Italy are both in the EU single market, so the duties of a sale to a third country do not apply to goods in free circulation. What does apply is EU product legislation, which depends on the machine. Check it on EUR-Lex and Access2Markets using the product's classification.
