Sexual exploitation includes forcing an individual to engage in commercial sex acts, including prostitution or the production of pornography. The types of labor exploitation include domestic servitude, restaurant work, janitorial work, sweatshop factory work, and migrant agricultural work. Victims of trafficking can include adults and minors as well as both U.S. citizens and foreign nationals.

According to the U.S. Department of State, human smuggling is the facilitation, transportation, attempted transportation, or illegal entry of a person across an international border in violation of the laws of one or more countries, either clandestinely or through deception, such as the use of fraudulent documents. Human smuggling generally occurs with the consent of the person being smuggled, although that person subsequently may become a victim of trafficking, and the two crimes often co-occur.
