Background of AEO Standard for Import and Export Businesses
The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks prompted the World Customs Organization (WCO) to establish a framework of standards for the security and facilitation of international trade, known as the SAFE Framework of Standards to Secure and Facilitate Global Trade (WCO SAFE FoS). One of the main mechanisms of the WCO SAFE FoS is the Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) program. WCO member countries have expressed their intention to participate in this program. Thailand, as a member of the WCO, has adopted this policy since 2006 and the Customs Department signed a Letter of Intent on May 9, 2006 to express its intention to implement the WCO SAFE FoS to encourage customs authorities and the private sector to be aware of the security of international trade.
