The U.S. International Trade Commission got a complaint about some medical imaging devices that might be breaking import rules. They want to hear from the public and companies involved before deciding if they should block these products from coming into the U.S. or being sold here. If you’re interested, now’s the time to speak up—this could affect companies in Canada and India and might change what devices doctors can use soon.

Imported imaging devices could be excluded
The U.S. International Trade Commission received a complaint (filed December 29, 2025) asking it to issue a limited exclusion order, cease-and-desist orders, and impose a bond during the 60-day Presidential review period. If the Commission grants the requested relief, certain medical imaging devices named in the complaint could be blocked from importation into or sale within the United States, which could affect which devices doctors and patients can use.
U.S. makers can petition to replace devices
The Commission asks parties to identify like or directly competitive articles made in the United States and to say whether complainant, licensees, or third-party suppliers can replace the volume of subject articles within a commercially reasonable time. Written submissions must be filed by close of business eight calendar days after publication (publication date January 2, 2026), are limited to five pages, and must be filed electronically through the Commission's EDIS system.
