FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
AEO Services - FAQs
Which AEO certificate should my business apply for?
Importers and exporters start with AEO-T1 or AEO-T2, and move to AEO-T3 after holding AEO-T2 for two years. Customs brokers, logistics providers, custodians and warehouse operators apply for AEO-LO. Our free eligibility quiz on the home page gives a quick answer.
Can I go straight to AEO-T2?
Yes. An eligible importer or exporter can apply directly for AEO-T2; it adds on-site verification of premises and security systems.
Is there a government fee for AEO?
CBIC does not charge a government fee for the AEO application.
Do MSMEs get any relaxation?
Yes. For AEO-T1 and AEO-T2, eligible MSMEs need business activity in 2 financial years (instead of 3) and 10 Bills of Entry or Shipping Bills (instead of 25).
