ITC Ends Battery Battle After Settlements, Targets Chinese Holdout

## Summary

The U.S. International Trade Commission has ended its investigation into certain rechargeable batteries after the last active companies, LithiumHub and Bass Pro, settled their dispute. Now, the Commission is asking for ideas on how to handle the case against a company from China that didn’t join the settlement. This could affect businesses involved in battery imports and might lead to new rules or fees soon.

## Abstract

Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade Commission has determined not to review an initial determination ("ID") (Order No. 38) issued by the presiding administrative law judge ("ALJ") granting a joint motion filed by complainants LithiumHub, LLC of Norris, SC, Lithiumhub Technologies, LLC of Marshall, TX, and Martin Koebler of Norris, SC (collectively, "Lithiumhub") and respondents Bass Pro Outdoor World LLC and Cabela's LLC (collectively, "Bass Pro"), both of Springfield, MO, to terminate the investigation as to Bass Pro, the last active respondents, based on a settlement agreement. The Commission requests submissions on remedy, the public interest, and bonding concerning relief against defaulting respondent Shenzhen Yichen S-Power Tech Co. LTD ("Shenzhen Yichen") of Shenzhen, China.
