Published Date: 6/25/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. International Trade Commission got a complaint about certain skin treatment devices possibly breaking import rules. Companies from several countries, including the U.S., Israel, and Europe, are involved. The Commission wants your thoughts on how this might affect the public before deciding on possible bans or restrictions, with a 60-day review period ahead.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Possible Import Ban on Skin Devices
You could see certain dermatological treatment devices removed from U.S. importation and sales if the Commission grants the complainant's request for a limited exclusion order or cease and desist orders. The complainant asked for those remedies during the 60-day Presidential review period under 19 U.S.C. 1337(j), and the Commission is soliciting public comments before deciding.
Required Bonds for Alleged Infringing Imports
If the Commission grants the requested relief, respondents may be required to post a bond on alleged infringing dermatological devices during the 60-day Presidential review period under 19 U.S.C. 1337(j). That would impose a temporary financial obligation on the named companies while the review is pending.
