ستتولى وكالتان اتحاديتان إجراء تحقيقات مكافحة الإغراق/تعويض الضرر هذه. وستقوم لجنة التجارة الدولية (ITC) بالتحقيق فيما إذا كانت الواردات المعنية تشكل سببًا للضرر. أما وزارة التجارة الأمريكية (DOC) فستحقق فيما إذا كانت الواردات المعنية تُباع إلى الولايات المتحدة بسعر أقل من القيمة العادلة («الإغراق») أو تستفيد من إعانات حكومية غير عادلة. ويجب على كلتا الوكالتين التوصل إلى نتائج إيجابية بشأن وجود ضرر أو تهديد بحدوث ضرر (ITC) أو بشأن وجود إغراق أو إعانات (DOC) حتى يتم فرض رسوم مكافحة الإغراق/تعويض الضرر على الواردات المعنية.
