Authorized Economic Operator status enhances supply chain security and enables simplified customs procedures for compliant traders.

The AEO Programme is India's unified trade facilitation and supply chain security initiative that grants an internationally recognised quality mark to compliant supply chain participants, enabling Customs to apply risk based, streamlined procedures and reduced interventions. Operative elements require demonstrable security measures and procedural safeguards-physical security, cargo and transport security, personnel and information system protections-together with adherence to prescribed eligibility and compliance criteria, in exchange for facilitation benefits such as faster clearances and simplified customs procedures through a Customs-business partnership.
