AEO Status Revocation: Key Triggers Include Prosecution, Serious Violations, or Holder's Request; Reapplication Restrictions Apply

Revocation of Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) status occurs under specific circumstances, such as failure to address a suspension within 60 days, involvement in acts leading to prosecution under the Customs Act, issuance of a show cause notice for serious violations, or a request by the AEO holder. Before revocation, the holder is notified, and it takes effect the following day. AEO-T1 and AEO-T2 holders cannot reapply for one year, while AEO-T3 and AEO-LO holders face a three-year restriction from the revocation date.
