  • Vision [1]
    • The role of international trade in the U.S. economy has expanded and, thus, the work of the Commission has had a broader impact on many aspects of the U.S. economy. In light of this expanded role, the Commission recognizes the importance of striving for excellence in all aspects of its mission. It is dedicated to objectivity, timeliness, and continual improvement in support of its customers. As an independent, quasi-judicial federal agency, the Commission is uniquely placed to administer important U.S. trade laws in a fair and impartial manner. The Commission is committed to the objective administration of the laws under its authority and is dedicated to improving the clarity and analytical and legal excellence of its decisions. Likewise, the Commission’s independent structure places it in a position to provide objective analysis and information to the President, USTR, Congress, and the general public. The Commission is committed to serving as the key federal resource for analysis of international trade matters through its industry, economic, nomenclature, and regional expertise. The Commission anticipates that the need for this expertise will expand; thus, it envisions enhancing its ability to assess a wide range of emerging trade issues.
