Johannesburg South Africa Achieves AEO Certification
Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) programs create customs-to-business partnerships that support low-risk trade between legitimate partners.
29 October 2024
What is AEO?
Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) programs create customs-to-business partnerships that support low-risk trade between legitimate partners. AEO programs, and similar cross-border security programs, can make border processes more efficient for pre-approved businesses. The goal is to create enhanced security throughout global supply chains and more predictable border experiences overall. The South African Revenue Service (SARS) encourages AEO certification as it often creates new business opportunities and better protects the integrity of goods. You can learn more about AEO here.
Congratulations to OIA South Africa for achieving AEO certification!
Customs and border authorities favor AEO partners because AEO is an internationally recognized quality standard. At OIA, we view it as a representation of the company’s culture of excellence and continuous improvement efforts. AEO certification builds confidence with customs entities while enhancing the Johannesburg branch’s reputation and marketability.

Benefits of AEO
- AEO companies are less likely to experience border delays due to examinations because customs authorities consider them low risk. AEOs are examined significantly less than regular traders, resulting in time savings and less risk of spoiled goods.
- If border disruption occurs, AEO companies have faster access to the border and thus quicker resumption of business.
