U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC)

The U.S. International Trade Commission is a federal agency which is independent, nonpartisan and quasi-judicial. The ITC (also commonlty referred to as the USITC) provides trade analysis to the President and Congress. The Commission serves as a forum to adjudicate intellectual property and trade disputes. The USITC investigates and makes determinations in cases involving imports which injure U.S. industry, including antidumping and countervailing duty cases, or violate U.S. intellectual property rights, such as in Section 337 cases. It also maintains the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule. The USITC is headed by six Commissioners who are appointed by Congress.
