JIATF-W ICAN Commodities Source Data Analysis

In August of 2020, Bättra received an award from the Joint Interagency Task Force-West (JIATF-W) Illicit Chemicals and Narcotics (ICAN) Team to identify data sources to track and monitor global commercial container and cargo shipments, focusing on coverage of the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. We evaluated the reliability, timeliness, cost, and quality of each data source identified in order for the ICAN team to select the best resource(s) to have increased visibility on illegal substance trafficking.
