## Summary

**Elevating counter‑illicit trade action as a national security priority.** This resolution would designate June 11, 2026 as Anti‑Illicit Trade Awareness Day and push coordinated public, private, and interagency steps to detect, disrupt, and dismantle networks that traffic drugs, fake medicines, counterfeit goods, and other illicit products. - Families and consumers: Calls out risks from fentanyl, fake medicines, and counterfeit goods and highlights WHO data that illicit cigarettes made up about 11.6% of the global market, costing roughly $40.5 billion in lost revenue. - Crime victims and workers: Links illicit trade to human trafficking, forced labor, modern slavery, and child exploitation and urges awareness to protect victims. - Law enforcement and intelligence: Elevates illicit trade to a national security concern and promotes financial intelligence sharing, integrated intelligence fusion centers, and trade transparency units. - Businesses and supply chains: Encourages public‑private partnerships and trade transparency to fight customs fraud, tariff evasion, misclassification, and other abuses that corrode supply chains. - International cooperation: Emphasizes the global scale of illicit trade, citing estimates of a global illegal economy up to about $31.8 trillion, and calls for whole‑of‑government and whole‑of‑society responses.
