The Authorized Economic Operator or AEO is a concept introduced by the SAFE Framework of Standard referring to operators involved in the movement of goods along the international trade supply chain who have achieved the required security standards and are accredited by the customs administration. The AEO Programme developed by Royal Malaysian Customs Department (RMCD) is based on a similar concept.
The AEO concept encourages electronic transactions for better security management in the supply chain. For smooth and seamless flow of trade, economic operators are encouraged to implement high security features based on international standards in their day-to-day management in all aspects of their business activity, amongst others includes manufacturing activities, movement of raw materials and finished goods, storage and warehousing and also ensuring secure conveyances and handling of goods.
Economic Operators with high compliance level and high security management are encouraged to apply for the AEO Programme from RMCD.
