US ITC Drops Hair Investigation for Some, Pursues Braiding Rebels
Published Date: 5/5/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. International Trade Commission decided to end the investigation into certain synthetic braiding hair for some companies because the complaint was withdrawn. Now, they’re asking for written opinions on how to handle the remaining companies that didn’t respond, focusing on fixes, public interest, and money guarantees. This affects businesses involved in importing or selling this hair and could impact future rules or costs.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Investigation Ended for Active Respondents
The U.S. International Trade Commission decided not to review an initial determination that ends the investigation for the remaining active respondents because the complaint was withdrawn. If you are a business that imports or sells the specified pre-stretched synthetic braiding hair, you are no longer subject to that active ITC investigation as described in Order No. 44.
Commission Seeks Comments on Remedies and Bonding
The Commission is asking parties, government agencies, and interested persons to send written submissions on remedy, the public interest, and bonding for respondents previously found to be in default. Businesses that were found in default could be subject to future decisions about remedies or bonding based on those submissions.
