AEO certification is CBIC's trusted-trader programme. T1 unlocks faster clearance. T2 unlocks deferred duty payment. T3 adds the highest facilitation tier including assured facilitation centre access.
What we deliver
- Tier selection — T1 vs T2 vs T3
- Self-assessment questionnaire preparation
- Pre-application gap audit (security, financial, compliance)
- On-site verification coordination with AEO programme team
- Post-grant annual compliance and re-validation
The largest avoidable cost in compliance is timing — applying after the shipment lands. Aurum's pre-clearance practice is to apply 6–10 weeks before vessel ETA.
