Global Trade & Commerce Enforcement Section

The Fraud Division’s Global Trade & Commerce Enforcement Section investigates and prosecutes criminal import, trade, and other fraud offenses that undermine American industries, evade external revenue collection, threaten consumers’ health and safety, finance foreign adversaries, promote forced labor through illegal trade practices, and violate United States laws governing domestic and foreign commerce. The attorneys assigned to the Global Trade & Commerce Enforcement Section target criminal conduct across the entire supply chain, including bad actors operating as importers, trade brokers, manufacturers, down-chain distributors, warehousers, and resellers. They are responsible for developing and advancing investigations of these offenses and prosecuting offenders in district court on behalf of the United States, providing expert attorney-advisor guidance and strategic support to internal and external partners and leading the cross-agency Trade Fraud Task Force.
