Brief takeaway: The ITC is reviewing part of a decision that found a Section 337 violation involving certain crafting machines, and possible import remedies could follow.

What changed: According to the notice, the Commission has determined to review in part the administrative law judge's final initial determination, which found a violation of Section 337 in this investigation. The notice states the Commission is requesting written submissions on remedy, the public interest, and bonding under a schedule set forth in the notice.

Who's affected: The notice names certain crafting machines and components thereof as the products at issue. It does not specify HTS chapters/codes or countries of origin in the text provided.

What to review:
- Review whether the products you import may fall within the category of crafting machines and components described in this investigation.
- Confirm with your customs broker or trade counsel whether any exclusion order or cease-and-desist order may issue and how it could affect your shipments.
- Check the notice's schedule and deadlines if you wish to file written submissions on remedy, the public interest, or bonding.
- Confirm with counsel whether bonding may apply to entries during any Presidential review period.
