Certain Ink Cartridges and Components Thereof II; Notice of Request for Submissions on the Public Interest

Brief takeaway: This notice is a request for public-interest comments in an ongoing ITC Section 337 investigation into certain ink cartridges, not a final order or an import ban itself.

What changed: According to the notice, on March 24, 2026, the presiding administrative law judge issued a Summary Determination on Violation of Section 337 and a Recommended Determination on remedy and bonding should a violation be found. The notice states the Commission is now soliciting submissions on public-interest issues raised by the recommended relief, and is seeking comments only from the public and interested government agencies.

Who's affected: The notice names certain ink cartridges and components thereof (the investigation captioned "Certain Ink Cartridges and Components Thereof II"). It does not specify HTS chapters/codes or particular countries of origin in the text provided.

What to review:
- Review whether your imported products fall within the general category of ink cartridges or components described in this investigation.
- Check the full ITC docket for the investigation number, named respondents, and any recommended remedy or bonding details not included in this notice.
- Confirm with your licensed customs broker or trade counsel whether any potential exclusion order or bonding could later affect your entries.
- Review the notice's stated deadlines and procedures if you intend to submit public-interest comments.
