ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Commission has issued a limited exclusion order denying entry of 
certain computer cables, chargers, adapters, peripheral devices and

International Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW., Washington, DC 20436, 
telephone (202) 205-2000. General information concerning the Commission 
may also be obtained by accessing its Internet server at https://www.usitc.gov. The public record for this investigation may be viewed 
on the Commission's electronic docket (EDIS) at https://edis.usitc.gov. 
Hearing-impaired persons are advised that information on this matter

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on December 17, 2015, based on a complaint filed on behalf of Belkin 
International, Inc. of Playa Vista, California (``Complainant''). 80 FR 
78763-64 (December 17, 2015). The complaint alleges violations of 
Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, in 
the sale for importation, importation, or sale within the United States 
after importation of certain computer cables, chargers, adapters, 
peripheral devices and packaging containing the same by reason of 
infringement of one or more of U.S. Trademark Registration No. 
2,339,459; U.S. Trademark Registration No. 2,339,460; U.S. Trademark 
Registration No. 4,168,379; and U.S. Trademark Registration No. 
4,538,212. The Commission's notice of investigation named the following 
respondents: Dongguan Pinte Electronic Co., Ltd., of Dongguan City, 
China; and Dongguan Shijie Fresh Electronic Products Factory, of 
Dongguan City, China (collectively ``Respondents''). The Office of 
Unfair Import Investigations (``OUII'') was named as a party.
    On August 8, 2016, the Commission determined not to review an 
initial determination finding the Respondents in default and requested 
briefing from the parties and the public on the issues of remedy, the 
public interest, and bonding. 81 FR 53505-06 (Aug. 12, 2016).
    Complainant filed a submission requesting a limited exclusion order 
(``LEO'') against the Respondents, arguing that none of the public 
interest factors weigh against granting an LEO. Complainant asserts 
that there are several competitors in the market and complainant can 
fulfill any increased demand. No public interest submissions were filed 
by the public. Complainant requested that Respondents either should not 
be afforded the opportunity to import during the period of Presidential 
review, or in the alternative, that the bond be set at 100 percent of 
entered value in accordance with the Commission practice for defaulting 
respondents. OUII supported the Complainant's requested relief, 
including imposition of 100 percent bond.
    The Commission finds that the statutory requirements for relief 
under section 337(g)(1), (19 U.S.C. 1337(g)(1)) are met with respect to 
the Respondents. In addition, the Commission finds that the public 
interest factors enumerated in section 337(g)(1) do not preclude 
issuance of the statutory relief.
    The Commission has determined that the appropriate remedy in this 
investigation is an LEO prohibiting the unlicensed entry of certain 
computer cables, chargers, adapters, peripheral devices and packaging 
containing the same that are manufactured abroad by or on behalf of, or 
imported by or on behalf of, Respondents that infringe one or more of 
U.S. Trademark Registration Nos. 2,339,459; 2,339,460; 4,168,379; and 
4,538,212.
    Finally, the Commission has determined that the bond during the 
period of Presidential review pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1337(j) shall be in 
the amount of 100 percent of the entered value of the imported articles 
that are subject to the LEO. The Commission's orders were delivered to 
the President and to the United States Trade Representative on the day 
of their issuance.
    The authority for the Commission's determination is contained in 
section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and 
in part 210 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 
part 210).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: October 13, 2016.
