International Trade Commission Seeks Public Input on Wireless Devices Case

Estimated reading time: 2–3 minutes

The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) is looking for public comments about a possible legal case. This case is about some wireless communication devices and their parts.

On August 14, 2026, a judge from ITC said there might be a violation of Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930. This section is about keeping certain products out of the U.S. if they break trade rules.

The Commission wants to know if removing these products from companies like Dell Technologies, Dell Products, and Lenovo (United States) Inc. would be good or bad for the public. They want to know how it might affect people’s health, the U.S. economy, and the choices U.S. consumers have.

The ITC is asking for details on these points:

  • How are these devices used in the U.S.?
  • Are there any health or safety concerns if these products are removed?
  • Are there similar products made in the U.S. that can replace these items?
  • Can these U.S. makers quickly supply enough products to replace the ones that might be removed?
  • How will this affect consumers in the U.S.?

People and government agencies can send their comments. They must keep comments to five pages. The deadline for sending comments is September 15, 2026.

The comments must be filed online. Each comment must have “Investigation No. 337-TA-1429” visible on the first page.

If someone wants to keep their comment private, they have to mark it clearly and follow the rules for private comments.

The ITC will use the information to decide if they should stop these devices from coming into the U.S. or not.

Lisa Barton, the Secretary to the ITC, made this announcement on August 18, 2026.
