What are the differences between the Department of Commerce and the International Trade Commission (ITC)?
Petitions are filed simultaneously with the Department of Commerce (DOC) and the International Trade Commission; both play separate but dependent roles during the course of the investigation. The DOC has the sole authority to initiate or not initiate the investigation, and analyzes sales and cost from the perspective period of investigation to determine whether dumping occurred. The ITC is responsible for determining whether a domestic industry is materially injured or threatened with material injury as a result of the individual and cumulated impact of the allegedly dumped imports.
