Certain Video Game Consoles, Routers and Gateways, and Components Thereof; Notice of a Commission Determination Not To Review an Initial Determination Terminating the Investigation Based on Settlement; Termination of Investigation

Brief takeaway: According to this ITC notice, a Section 337 investigation covering certain video game consoles, routers and gateways, and their components has been terminated based on a settlement, so the case is closed.

What changed: The notice states that the Commission determined not to review the administrative law judge's initial determination (Order No. 24), which granted the complainant's motion to terminate the investigation based on settlement. As a result, the notice states, the investigation is terminated.

Who's affected: The notice names products described as certain video game consoles, routers and gateways, and components thereof. It does not specify HTS chapters or codes, countries of origin, or the parties involved, so those details are not stated in the notice.

What to review:
- Review whether your products fall within the categories the notice describes (video game consoles, routers, gateways, or their components) and whether any prior exclusion or enforcement concern was tied to this now-terminated investigation.
- Confirm with your licensed customs broker or trade counsel whether this termination has any bearing on your imports.
- Check whether any related ITC exclusion order or bonding requirement was ever in effect for your goods, since termination based on settlement typically ends the investigation.
