Possible Import Bans on Vaporizers

The complaint names Glas, Inc. and Glas, LLC (Los Angeles, CA) and requests these remedies under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930.
Bond Could Be Required During 60-Day Review

If imposed, affected importers or sellers may need to post a bond to continue importing or selling the accused products while the Presidential review is pending.
