To address these concerns, the World Customs
Organization (WCO) introduced the concept of the
Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) Program, which
has been adopted worldwide, including by India. In
India, the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and
Customs (CBIC) implements the AEO Program,
granting special status to trusted businesses engaged
in import and export.
With AEO Registration, businesses gain recognition as
reliable and secure trade partners. This recognition
translates into faster customs clearance, fewer
inspections, better international credibility, and
overall smoother trade operations.
What is AEO Registration?
Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) Registration is a
voluntary certification program launched by the
Indian Customs Department under the Customs Act,
1962. It is a part of the WCO SAFE Framework of
Standards, which aims to secure and simplify global
trade.
Any business involved in international trade —
whether an importer, exporter, logistics provider, or
warehouse operator — can apply for AEO Certification.
Once certified, these businesses are recognized as
trusted partners in the global supply chain and enjoy
priority treatment during customs clearance.
