Brief takeaway: The ITC is reviewing part of a judge's finding that certain photodynamic therapy systems violate Section 337, and is asking for input on possible import remedies before it decides.

What changed: According to the notice, the Commission determined to review in part a final initial determination by the administrative law judge that found a violation of Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930. The notice states the Commission is requesting written submissions on remedy, the public interest, and bonding on a set schedule.

Who's affected: The notice names photodynamic therapy systems, components thereof, and pharmaceutical products used in combination with the same. It does not specify HTS codes or countries of origin in this text.

- Confirm with your broker or trade counsel whether this investigation may affect your imports and how to track its outcome.
- Check the notice for the submission schedule and deadlines if you intend to file comments.
- Review whether any potential exclusion order or bonding requirement could later apply to your shipments.
