The United States International Trade Commission furnishes studies, reports, and

recommendations involving international trade and tariffs to the President, the U.S.

Trade Representative, and congressional committees. The Commission also conducts a

variety of investigations pertaining to international trade relief.

The United States International Trade

Commission (USITC) is an independent

agency created by the Revenue Act

(39 Stat. 795) and originally named the

United States Tariff Commission. The

name was changed to the United States

International Trade Commission by

section 171 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19

U.S.C. 2231).

Six Commissioners are appointed by

the President with the advice and consent

of the Senate for 9-year terms, unless

appointed to f‌ill an unexpired term.

The Chairman and Vice Chairman are

designated by the President for 2-year

terms, and succeeding Chairmen may

not be of the same political party. The

Chairman generally is responsible for the

administration of the Commission. Not

more than three Commissioners may be

members of the same political party (19

U.S.C. 1330).
