Key Points

  • Congress would require the Homeland Security Department to write a plan within 180 days to expand the use of Trade Transparency Units.
  • The plan would aim to share more trade and customs information among U.S. agencies like Customs and Border Protection and financial crime investigators.
  • It also calls for stronger information sharing with foreign customs agencies to help spot money laundering tied to international trade.
  • The strategy must be sent to Congress in a public (unclassified) form, though it can include a secret add-on section if needed.
  • After the plan is submitted, the government’s top auditor would review it and report back to Congress within 180 days.
