§4322 Priority trade issues

Summary

The Commissioner must treat seven topics as priority trade issues: agriculture programs; antidumping and countervailing duties; import safety; intellectual property rights; revenue; textiles and wearing apparel; and trade agreements and preference programs. The Commissioner can add, remove, combine, or change these priorities when they decide it is necessary and appropriate. If new priorities are created, the Commissioner must send a summary to the appropriate congressional committees no later than 30 days after the new priorities take effect. If existing priorities are changed, the Commissioner must send a summary to those committees at least 60 days before the changes take effect.
