A manufacturer who offers a product or products for sale to the trade without regard to whether or not said company is an assembler, packager, exclusive importer, etc., so long as such product or products are exclusively proprietary. For the purposes of these requirements, while an importer may technically be called a distributor, the exclusivity shall qualify him as an exhibitor-manufacturer by reason of such exclusivity.

For additional information on eligibility to exhibit at AAPEX, please refer to the 2024 Exhibitor Regulations, Item 5, ELIGIBILITY.

The AAPEX show contract requires that products on display must comply with applicable Federal safety standards. Items such as replaceable light sources (e.g., headlamp bulbs and ballasts), brake hoses, warning triangles, seat belt assemblies, and tires are just a few of the items that must comply with applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) to be on display at AAPEX. To find the applicable FMVSS for each type of regulated motor vehicle equipment, refer to Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 571 Subpart B which lists numerically by section each Federal Standard. 49 C.F.R Part 571 can be accessed at https://go.usa.gov/xReAE.

HID/LED conversion kits contain replaceable light sources whose base was modified or manufactured to be interchangeable with regulated headlamp replaceable light sources. HID/LED headlamp conversion kits and components do not meet the requirements of FMVSS No. 108 and therefore cannot be lawfully manufactured, sold, offered for sale, imported, or introduced into interstate commerce into the United States. See 49 U.S.C § 30112 (a)(1). AAPEX show management works closely with Federal government representatives in identifying these products on the show floor and enforcing the show contract prohibitions on non-compliant products.
