Trade Transparency Unit Strategy Act

HR 6988, the Trade Transparency Unit Strategy Act, requires U.S. agencies to develop a strategy within 180 days for expanding Trade Transparency Units (TTUs). The strategy must improve information sharing between U.S. agencies (like Customs and Border Protection, Homeland Security Investigations, and Treasury's FinCEN) and foreign customs agencies to combat international money laundering. It mandates coordination among the Homeland Security, State, Commerce, and Treasury Secretaries, with a follow-up assessment by the Comptroller General. This bill directly affects U.S. federal agencies and their international counterparts involved in trade enforcement.
