Customs Manual 2025: AEO Program Boosts Business with Expedited Cargo, Deferred Payments, and Compliance Benefits
The Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) Programme, detailed in the Customs Manual 2025, outlines benefits for businesses with AEO certification. AEO status enhances compliance, security, and relations with Customs, and reduces the frequency of checks. AEO-T1 benefits include expedited cargo release, Direct Port Delivery/Entry, and reduced bank guarantees. AEO-T2 offers additional facilitation, deferred duty payment, and faster drawback disbursal. AEO-T3 provides the highest facilitation, exemption from bank guarantees, and reliance on self-certified documents. AEO-LO benefits include waivers and streamlined processes for logistics providers, custodians, brokers, and warehouse operators. The program promotes voluntary compliance with risk-based audits.
