The United States International Trade Commission is an independent, quasi-judicial federal agency responsible for investigating trade-related issues. It examines the effects of dumped and subsidized imports on U.S. industries, conducts global safeguard inquiries, and adjudicates cases involving imports that infringe intellectual property rights, supported by a staff of several hundred. Based in Washington, DC, the commission provides independent analysis to the President, USTR, and Congress and maintains the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States. It serves as a federal resource for trade information and makes much of its data available publicly to support informed decision-making. In early 2026, the agency announced the launch of a CUSMA rules-of-origin auto investigation, illustrating its ongoing role in evaluating trade measures.
