BRYSON, Circuit Judge.

The appellant, which we refer to as PPC, challenges a determination by the International Trade Commission that PPC failed to prove that the importation of certain coaxial cable connectors violated section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. § 1337. The Commission ruled that PPC failed to satisfy one of the elements of a violation of section 337—the so-called "domestic industry" requirement. We affirm.
