Certain Chocolate Milk Powder and Packaging Thereof; Notice of a Commission Determination Not To Review an Initial Determination Granting a Motion for Summary Determination of Violation of the General Exclusion Order and Cease and Desist Orders; Request for Briefing on the Recommended Remedy for Violation of the Cease and Desist Orders

Brief takeaway: The ITC has upheld a finding that a General Exclusion Order and Cease and Desist Orders covering certain chocolate milk powder and its packaging were violated, and is now seeking input on remedies for the CDO violations.

What changed: According to the notice, the Commission determined not to review the administrative law judge's initial determination that granted summary determination of a violation of an existing General Exclusion Order and Cease and Desist Orders. The notice states the Commission is requesting written submissions on the recommended remedy for the violation of the Cease and Desist Orders.

Who's affected: The notice names certain chocolate milk powder and packaging thereof. It does not specify HTS codes or countries of origin. Because a General Exclusion Order is at issue, the notice implies that covered goods may be affected regardless of source.

What to review:
- Review whether your imported chocolate milk powder or its packaging may fall within the scope of the existing General Exclusion Order referenced in the notice.
- Confirm with your customs broker whether an active GEO on this product category may be relevant to your entries.
- Check whether your company is subject to any of the Cease and Desist Orders mentioned.
- Review the submission schedule if you wish to comment on the recommended remedy.
