The International Trade Commission found no violation of Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 by the remaining respondents in an investigation on alleged knock-off footwear but did issue a limited exclusion order against defaulting respondents (ITC Inv. No. 337-TA-1270), it said in a Federal Register notice. The ITC confirmed a February initial determination by Administrative Law Judge Bryan Moore, which found no violation but recommended a general exclusion order should the commission disagree (see 2301180042). The ITC issued a limited exclusion order against the four defaulting respondents, La Modish, Star Bay, Huizhou and Anao.
