The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) declined to review the lead case challenging the imposition of List 3 and List 4A Section 301 duties imposed on certain goods from China. This effectively marked the end of this litigation, which has been ongoing since 2020.
In response to the SCOTUS decision, the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) has now entered an order in each of the over 4,000 similar cases that were filed to contest these Section 301 duties, and which were stayed pending the final outcome of the lead case. The order provides that the CIT will automatically dismiss the stayed cases. The only exception would be for a plaintiff that intends to litigate an additional or alternative claim that was raised in its complaint. Any such plaintiff is required to file a status report with the CIT by September 4, 2026.
The Section 301 cases filed by GDLSK generally did not include additional or alternative claims and no additional filing is required. These cases will be dismissed automatically. Please contact any of our attorneys if you have any questions.
