The White House is seeking an additional $24.3 million in funding in fiscal year 2020 for intelligent enforcement at CBP, the agency said in its budget justification document. The largest chunk of that, $17 million, would go toward implementing the 2017 executive order that called for improvements to antidumping and countervailing duty collection security through enhanced bonding processes (see 1704030033). Of that $17 million, $5 million would go toward system updates in ACE and the Automated Targeting System, while $12 million would be for "developing analytics capability that compliments ACE cargo processing and builds trade specific targeting in ATS," it said.
