International Trade Commission (ITC)

The International Trade Commission (ITC) is a U.S. government agency that helps protect American industries from unfair international competition. It investigates complaints about imported goods that may harm local businesses, such as through unfair practices like dumping (selling below cost) or intellectual property theft. The ITC conducts thorough analyses and can recommend measures like tariffs or import bans to preserve U.S. jobs and markets. Additionally, it provides reports on trade and economic trends, contributing to informed policy-making and trade negotiations.
