The name is localized. However, it appears with my brief testing that you need to have opened the Blizzard panel up first before C_TradeSkillUI API actually returns non nil.
For posterity.
The Blizzard TradeSkillUI addon is loaded on demand so you can either open the trade skill frame or simply load the addon. Best time to load the addon is when your addon is loaded.

Lua Code:
  1. local loaded, reason = LoadAddOn("Blizzard Trade Skill UI")
  2.    --If that does not work then perhaps try replacing "Blizzard Trade Skill UI" with "Blizzard_TradeSkillUI", it's been a while after all
