What is the role of the International Trade Commission in AD/CVD investigations?
The International Trade Commission determines whether the domestic industry is suffering material injury as a result of the imports of the dumped or subsidized products. The International Trade Commission considers all relevant economic factors, including the domestic industry’s output, sales, market share, employment, and profits. For further information on the International Trade Commission’s injury investigation, see http://www.usitc.gov. Both the International Trade Commission and Import Administration must make affirmative preliminary determinations for an investigation to go forward.
