Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) recently conducted an Outreach Program to help Indian companies engaged in international trade obtain a status of Authorized Economic Operators (AEO) which would enhance their relations with customs.
AEO are parties involved in the international movement of goods on behalf of a national customs administration as complying with World Customs Organization standards, such as manufacturers, importers, exporters, brokers, carriers and others.
According to GJEPC, the event was held in Bharat Diamond Bourse on 18th March, 2024, and brought together industry stakeholders keen on navigating the complexities of AEO certification. The program aimed to streamline efforts within the sector by empowering individuals and firms with the knowledge and resources necessary to obtain AEO status.
Amit Choudhary, Deputy Commissioner, Directorate of International Customs, provided attendees with expert perspectives and clarifying queries related to obtaining AEO status, and spoke about customs practices and achievements in detail.
The Outreach Program garnered positive feedback from the 120+ attendees, who expressed appreciation for the valuable insights gained and the opportunity to connect with peers in the industry.
