Possible Import Ban on Shapewear Products
A complaint asks the U.S. International Trade Commission to issue a general or limited exclusion order and cease-and-desist orders that could block the importation, sale for importation, and sale within the United States of certain shapewear garments. The complainant also seeks these remedies during the 60-day Presidential review period, which could affect availability and prices for shoppers if the Commission grants relief.
Bond Requirement During 60-Day Presidential Review
The complainant asks the Commission to require respondents to post a bond on alleged infringing articles during the 60-day Presidential review period pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1337(j). If imposed, affected importers or sellers may need to post financial security while the review runs.
