Published Date: 5/11/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. International Trade Commission got an updated complaint about certain pickleball paddles, involving several companies across the U.S. and one from Spain. They want the public to share their thoughts on how this might affect everyone, especially before any decisions are made. This could impact imports, sales, and competition, so keep an eye out for deadlines to speak up!
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Potential Import Ban on Pickleball Paddles
The complainant asked the U.S. International Trade Commission to issue a limited exclusion order, cease and desist orders, and to require a bond during the 60-day Presidential review period under 19 U.S.C. 1337(j). If the Commission grants that relief, imports and sales within the United States of certain pickleball paddles could be blocked or restricted.
U.S. Manufacturers May Need to Replace Imports
The Commission is asking whether like or directly competitive pickleball paddles are made in the United States and whether complainant, its licensees, or third-party suppliers have the capacity to replace the volume of potentially excluded articles within a commercially reasonable time. This question bears on whether U.S. producers could supply replacement paddles if imports are excluded.
Public Comment Window and Issues Solicited
The Commission invites the public, proposed respondents, interested parties, and government agencies to file written comments on whether the requested relief would affect public health and welfare, competitive conditions, U.S. production of like articles, or U.S. consumers. Written submissions on the public interest must be filed by close of business eight calendar days after publication of this notice in the Federal Register, and replies may be filed within three calendar days after initial submissions were due.
