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.

Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

January 2, 2026 by Jacob Kopnick|Top News

The Commerce Department erred by including manufacturer Tecnicas de Fluidos' products within the scope of the antidumping duty order on light-walled rectangular pipe from Mexico and by collapsing respondent Maquilacero and Tecnicas, its affiliate, in the 2022-23 administrative review of the order, Maquilacero and Tecnicas argued in a motion for judgment (Maquilacero v. United States, CIT # 25-00176).

CIT Says Commerce Didn't Unlawfully 'Relitigate' Negative Injury Finding on Rail Couplers
December 24, 2025 by Jacob Kopnick|Top News

The Commerce Department didn't improperly "relitigate" a negative injury determination on freight rail couplers from China in its antidumping duty and countervailing duty investigations on the same product, the Court of International Trade held on Dec. 23. Judge Gary Katzmann said the second set of proceedings involving Chinese freight rail couplers differed from the first in three key ways: it covered different physical merchandise, it involved different countries of origin, and it involved a different period of review.
