Footnotes

The United States International Trade Commission (USITC or I.T.C.[3]) is an agency of the United States federal government that advises the legislative and executive branches on matters of trade. It is an independent, bipartisan[which?][clarification needed] entity that analyzes trade issues such as tariffs and competitiveness and publishes reports. As a quasi-judicial entity, the USITC investigates the impact of imports on U.S. industries, and directs actions against unfair trade practices, such as subsidies; dumping; and intellectual property infringement, including copyright infringement.[4]
