ITC – Early Resolutions to Your Investigation

The ITC investigates unfair practices in the import trade under Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, and is known for target completion dates set just 16 months from the date when the investigation began. However, counsel and clients may be interested in resolving the investigation even sooner to save costs, time, and resources. This practice note addresses key procedural and content requirements, preliminary considerations, and potential risks and benefits for the following types of early resolutions:

• Motions to Terminate
• Withdrawal of the Complaint
• Default
• Motions for Summary Determination
