This could affect products like vehicle tracking and safety devices, with decisions coming soon that might change what’s allowed in the U.S. market. If a violation is found, some products could be blocked from entering or sold in the U.S., so now’s the time to speak up!

Motive devices could be barred from U.S.
The U.S. International Trade Commission is considering recommended remedial orders that could bar certain vehicle telematics, fleet management, and video-based safety systems made, imported, or sold by Motive Technologies Inc. If the Commission finds a violation, those products could be excluded from entry into the United States or prevented from being sold after importation.
Possible supply gaps and replacement needs
The Commission specifically asks whether like or directly competitive articles exist in the United States and whether complainant, its licensees, or third parties can replace the volume of potentially excluded articles within a commercially reasonable time. If replacements are not available, fleets and buyers could face shortages or need to change systems.
Public-interest safeguard before banning products
Under Section 337, before excluding articles the Commission must consider effects on public health and welfare, competitive conditions, U.S. production of like articles, and U.S. consumers. The Commission may decide not to exclude products if those public-interest factors weigh against exclusion.
