On June 4, 2026, plaintiffs in the V.O.S. Selections case asked the Court of International Trade to certify a nationwide class of importers under Rule 23(b)(2). The court heard argument on August 6, 2026. As of September 11, no ruling had been reported.
Why it matters
If a class were certified, relief could reach importers who have not filed their own cases. Until then, law firms describe filing an individual case as the confirmed route for finally liquidated entries.
What this means for importers
A pending class motion is not a reason to let a deadline pass. See the two-year deadline and talk to a trade attorney.
