Protecting American Industry and Labor from International Trade Crimes Act of 2025

Creates a dedicated team inside the Department of Justice to investigate and prosecute trade‑related crimes like tariff and duty evasion, smuggling, and trade‑based money laundering. It strengthens coordination with Homeland Security agencies, other federal partners, and foreign counterparts, and requires annual reporting to Congress on results and resource needs.

Authorizes $20 million for FY2026, with at least 80% directed to DOJ’s Criminal Division for prosecutions, staffing, training, and partnerships. DOJ must stand up the new structure within 120 days after funding becomes available, and submit the first report within one year, then every year by February 1.
