Sec. 2633. Procedure and fees
(a) A filing fee shall be payable to the clerk of the Court of
International Trade upon the commencement of a civil action in such
court. The amount of the fee shall be prescribed by the rules of the
court, but shall be not less than $5 nor more than the filing fee for
commencing a civil action in a district court of the United States. The
court may fix all other fees to be charged by the clerk of the court.
(b) The Court of International Trade shall prescribe rules governing
the summons, pleadings, and other papers, for their amendment, service,
and filing, for consolidations, severances, suspensions of cases, and
for other procedural matters.
(c) All summons, pleadings, and other papers filed in the Court of
International Trade shall be served on all parties in accordance with
rules prescribed by the court. When the United States, its agencies, or
its officers are adverse parties, service of the summons shall be made
upon the Attorney General and the head of the Government agency whose
action is being contested. When injunctive relief is sought, the
summons, pleadings, and other papers shall also be served upon the named
officials sought to be enjoined.
