Overview: 

AEO-T2 certification builds upon the foundational compliance and security requirements by focusing on enhanced risk management, documented procedures and proven operational consistency. 

Businesses holding AEO-T2 status are categorized as very low-risk entities, which enables customs authorities to facilitate cargo movement with minimal disruption. The certification reflects a company’s commitment to compliance, transparency and secure international trade operations. 

AEO-T2 is particularly beneficial for companies seeking greater predictability, reduced logistics costs and stronger credibility in global supply chains. 

Benefits: 

An AEO-T2 certified business enjoys significantly higher facilitation benefits, including: 

• Substantially faster customs clearance for imports and exports. 

• Very low level of physical examination and document checks. 

• Priority processing of consignments at customs locations. 

• Further reduction or waiver of Bank Guarantee requirements where applicable. 

• 24×7 customs clearance without payment of overtime charges. 

• Dedicated facilitation support from customs authorities. 

• Lower dwell time, resulting in reduced demurrage and detention costs. 

• Improved global credibility with foreign buyers, suppliers and logistics partners. 

These benefits help businesses operate more efficiently and competitively in international trade.
