The Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) has seen rapid growth and development since its official launch under the aegis of the Federal Customs Authority (FCA) in October 2016. New members are joining, and new mutual recognition agreements are signed.

Musabih expected the percentage to go up to 50% by 2020. “The program helps in the national efforts towards hosting a distinguished EXPO 2020. The same year Dubai is hosting the 5 th WCO Global AEO Conference. The AEO program helped catapult the UAE to top the world’s Efficiency of Customs Procedures Index at the annual report of the Global Competitiveness of 2017” he added. Musabih congratulated the new members for joining the AEO program and wished them more success in their business and trade.
