ITCJune 16, 2026·DN-3914·PRE-INSTITUTION COMPLAINT FILED

Certain Foundry Coke

U.S. International Trade Commission

Holding

SunCoke Technology and Development LLC and Jewell Coke Company L.P. filed a Section 337 complaint targeting imports and post-importation sales of certain foundry coke by Czech, German, Polish, and Italian respondents. The Federal Register notice does not identify any asserted patents; complainants seek a limited exclusion order, cease-and-desist orders, and bonding during the Presidential review period.

Why It Matters

The complaint concerns foundry coke, an industrial carbon material used in metal casting and related foundry operations, rather than a consumer electronics or pharmaceutical technology. The Commission is soliciting public-interest comments on how exclusionary relief could affect U.S. health and welfare, competitive conditions, domestic production of like or directly competitive articles, replacement capacity, and U.S. consumers.
