International Trade Commission

Trade cases versus a $66.0 million award book

Title VII injury investigations, Section 337 complaints, and Harmonized Tariff Schedule maintenance are the USITC’s public docket. None of those case counts are in this packet. $66,005,408.93 is what the Commission obligated on federal awards through FY2026—research support, IT, facilities, translation, and other instruments tagged to CGAC 034. A surge in antidumping petitions does not automatically move this total. A data-systems contract can move it in a quiet filing year.

Two hundred forty-six awards against $66.0 million implies about $268,315 per award. That mid mean on a modest count fits a small independent commission buying professional and administrative support rather than running a grant program. The packet has no median.

Tariff revenue is not in these 246 rows

Customs duties collected at the border are Treasury receipts, not USITC obligations. Mixing duty collections with $66,005,408.93 would confuse the Commission’s operating award book with the government’s import-tax take. This page stays on awarding-agency obligations.

Economist and investigator salaries generally never appear as USAspending awards. The $66.0 million understates the Commission’s full operating cost if a reader expected the award file to equal the appropriation. It is complete as an award ledger.

What is agency code 034?

034 is the USAspending awarding-agency CGAC identifier for the International Trade Commission. SpendingVault uses it in /agencies/034/. Commerce ITA, USTR, and CBP use different codes. SpendingVault URLs under the agency path filter to that CGAC identifier. It is an accounting tag, not a quality score. Totals on this page are obligations through FY2026.

Is $66 million tariff revenue?

No. Customs duties are Treasury receipts. This page reports USITC awarding-agency obligations of $66,005,408.93 on 246 awards through FY2026. Outlays on those awards are unpublished in the packet.
