Estimated reading time: 4–6 minutes

On December 19, 2025, the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) announced that it has received a new legal complaint. The case is called “Certain Wireless Communication Devices and Components Thereof,” listed as Docket Number 3867.

The complaint was submitted by Active Wireless Technologies LLC on December 16, 2025. It claims there have been violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1337). This law deals with products that are brought into the United States in ways that may not follow trade rules.

Several companies have been named as respondents in the complaint. They are:

  • BLU Products, Inc. of Doral, Florida
  • Coosea USA Technologies, Inc. of San Diego, California
  • DISH Wireless, LLC of Englewood, Colorado
  • EchoStar Corporation of Englewood, Colorado
  • HTC Corporation of Taiwan
  • LG Electronics Inc. of South Korea
  • OnePlus Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. of China
  • Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. of San Diego, California
  • TCL Communication Ltd. of Hong Kong
  • TTE Technology, Inc. (doing business as TCL North America) of Irvine, California
  • TCL Technology Group Corporation of China
  • T-Mobile USA, Inc. of Bellevue, Washington

The complaint asks the Commission to issue a limited exclusion order and cease and desist orders. It also requests the Commission to require a bond for certain products during a 60-day Presidential review period as allowed under the law.

The USITC is now asking for public comments about this investigation. Comments should cover if banning these products would affect public health, welfare, U.S. competition, U.S. production of similar products, or U.S. consumers. The USITC is especially interested in comments answering these questions:

  • How are the products that may be banned used in the United States?
  • Are there any health, safety, or welfare concerns if these products are banned?
  • Are there similar products made in the United States that could replace these imported products?
  • Can the complainant or other U.S. companies quickly replace the supply if the ban happens?
  • How would a ban affect U.S. consumers?

Written comments on public interest issues must be sent in by the end of the business day, eight days after the date this notice appears in the Federal Register. There will be more chances to comment after an initial decision is made in this investigation.

Comments must be no more than five pages and should be sent electronically using the Commission’s Electronic Document Information System (EDIS) at https://edis.usitc.gov. No paper submissions will be accepted at this time.

If someone wants to send a comment and keep it confidential, they must request this in their submission and explain why. Public documents will be available for viewing online.

This notice was issued by Lisa R. Barton, Secretary to the Commission, on December 16, 2025.

This action comes under the authority of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 and related Commission rules. For further details, contact the USITC or visit their website at https://www.usitc.gov.
