On September 16, 2013, the US International Trade Commission initiated a "337 investigation" on tire products produced by more than 20 Chinese and American companies.
The US International Trade Commission issued a statement on the same day saying that the investigation involved seven Chinese companies such as Shandong Weifang Shunfuchang Rubber and Plastic Co., Ltd. and Shandong Linglong Tire Co., Ltd., and 14 US companies and a Thai company, including OMNI trading company. .
The statement said that Japan’s Toyo Rubber Industry Co., Ltd. and its US subsidiary filed a complaint on August 14 this year, alleging that the tire products imported by the United States and sold in the US market infringed the company’s patents and requested the US International Trade Commission to initiate “337 investigationâ€. , issue exclusion orders and prohibit import orders.
The so-called “Section 337 Survey †of the United States was first named in Article 337 of the “United States Tariff Act of 1930†and it has undergone several major revisions. According to this provision, the US International Trade Commission has the power to investigate complaints concerning patent and registered trademark infringements, and it also conducts investigations involving misappropriation of trade secrets, product packaging infringement, imitation, and false advertising. The "337 investigation" not only supervises international trade, but also controls inter-state trade in the United States. Therefore, the object of law enforcement is not only foreign companies but also domestic American companies.
According to relevant procedures, after the US International Trade Commission initiated the "337 investigation," the agency must determine the target time for the final award within 45 days and complete the investigation as soon as possible. Usually the case needs to make a ruling within one year. If the company involved is found guilty of violating Article 337, the U.S. International Trade Commission will issue exclusion orders and prohibit imports of related products, which means that the products involved will completely lose their eligibility for entry into the U.S. market.
Since the beginning of this year, the United States has repeatedly launched a "337 investigation" on Chinese products. Many Chinese companies, including Huawei, ZTE and Sany Heavy Industry , have been accused of infringement. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce has repeatedly stated that it hopes that the U.S. government will abide by its opposition to trade protectionism, jointly safeguard a free, open and fair international trade environment, and properly handle trade frictions in a more rational manner.
