Chair rogers the chair recognizes the Ranking Member of the committee, miss delauro. Ms. Delauro delighted you are here this morning. What i wanted to look at is the issue of crime, if you will, and trade. D. O. J. Plays a Critical Role in deterring crime through robust investigations, prosecutions, incarcerations, and the application of penalties. My concern about d. O. J. That there may be some serious blind spots. Lack of resources in critical areas. Particular, the u. S. International trade enforcement. Example, 2022, u. S. Imports were 3. 27 trillion. Conservative estimates based on available data from Economic Policy institute projected 5 to 10 of those imports were fraudulent. This means that there is annually 163 of the 327 billion in illegal trade which impacts u. S. Workers, manufacturers, consumers, and our free trade partners. I understand d. O. J. s infrastructure to combat trade crimes is lightly resourced. 2022 u. S. Customs and Border Protection collected 19. 4 million
