The Illicit Trade Summits of the Americas bring together Customs Directors-General and high-level stakeholders from across the region to strengthen cooperation in the fight against illicit trade. Co-hosted by TRACIT and national customs authorities, these high-impact events provide a platform for open dialogue, peer exchange, and strategic alignment to combat the cross-border threats posed by illicit goods. Each summit serves as a springboard for advancing regional coordination, improving enforcement capabilities, and fostering partnerships between the public and private sectors. Through expert discussions, collaborative workshops, and shared commitments, the Summits aim to protect legitimate trade, promote security, and uphold the rule of law throughout the Americas.
