Turn Section 337 records into repeat review when the same products are covered.
- 1Read the USITC recordStart with the investigation number, covered articles, order type, and respondents.

- 3Review when an order changesUse the review workflow (free with an account) when a new order, modification, or enforcement instruction may affect admissibility.
Review Section 337 scopeWhy it matters
A Section 337 exclusion order can bar covered goods at entry, so the operational risk is the shipment being stopped, not a higher duty. Importers need to know when an order reaches a product they bring in.
How Traverse frames it
Traverse keeps each Section 337 investigation and order tied to the covered articles, respondents, and primary record, so admissibility risk stays connected to the source.
Common questions
What import teams usually need to answer.
What should importers track for Section 337?
Track USITC institution notices, complaints, limited and general exclusion orders, cease-and-desist orders, and CBP enforcement instructions that can stop covered goods at the border.
Why is Section 337 different from a tariff change?
Section 337 is an exclusion remedy, not a duty rate. A general or limited exclusion order can bar entry of covered articles entirely, so the question is admissibility, not the rate owed.
When should a Section 337 issue need repeat review?
Review it when an investigation or order covers a product family, component, or supplier you keep importing, so a new order or modification is caught before entry.
Review checklist
What to check before this becomes repeat review.
- 1Identify the USITC investigation number and the products it covers.
- 2Check whether a limited exclusion order, general exclusion order, or cease-and-desist order is in force.
- 3Map covered articles to your HTS lines, components, and suppliers.
- 4Check CBP enforcement instructions and effective dates.
- 5Review repeated product, component, and supplier terms for repeat review.
