AEO Certification
The Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) certification is one of the most prestigious recognitions granted by Indian Customs, aligned with the World Customs Organization’s SAFE framework. It identifies businesses as reliable, secure, and compliant partners in global supply chains. At Suvis Associates, we assist companies in navigating the AEO certification journey from start to finish.
Eligibility for AEO requires a consistent record of customs and tax compliance, sound financial standing, secure logistics systems, and proper maintenance of records. Our team evaluates existing processes, identifies compliance gaps, and helps clients build the necessary documentation and systems to qualify.
The benefits of AEO status are significant. Holders enjoy priority clearance of goods, reduced inspection and examination of cargo, deferred duty payments, faster refunds, and access to simplified procedures. On the international stage, AEO-certified businesses gain credibility with foreign buyers, as their consignments are viewed as secure and low-risk, and they benefit from mutual recognition agreements with customs administrations of other countries.
For companies aspiring to grow in international markets, AEO certification is no longer just an option but a strategic asset. With Suvis Associates’ expertise, businesses can achieve this certification smoothly, gain operational efficiencies, and strengthen their competitive edge in the global trade ecosystem.
