New AEO Programme Streamlines Import/Export Certification with Digitized Process and Support for MSMEs Under Customs Manual 2023
The Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) Programme, as per CBEC's Customs Manual 2023, offers a three-tier certification system for importers and exporters: AEO-T1, AEO-T2, and AEO-T3. AEO-T1 certification is fully digitized, streamlining the application process and enhancing ease of business. AEO-T2 requires physical verification of compliance, while AEO-T3 is for entities with at least two years of AEO-T2 status or equivalent international certification. Special provisions exist for MSMEs to simplify AEO accreditation, supporting India's Aatma Nirbhar Bharat Abhiyan by reducing compliance burdens and enhancing supply chain security.
