For U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) we have a term and definition in Customs.

U.s. International Trade Commission (Usitc) (Customs)

Formerly the U.S. Tariff Commission, created in 1916 by an act of Congress. Its mandate was broadened and its name changed by the Trade Act of 1974. The USITC is an independent fact-finding agency of the U.S. government, reporting to Congress, that studies the effects of tariffs and other restraints to trade on the U.S. economy. It conducts public hearings to assist in determining whether particular U.S. industries are injured or threatened with injury by dumping, export subsidies in other countries or rapidly rising imports. It also studies the probable economic impact on specific U.S. industries of proposed reductions in U.S. tariffs and non-tariff barriers to imports. Its six commissioners are appointed by the president, with the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate, for nine-year terms.
