Invite to a webinar on 30 November on the Customs Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) process
24 November 2023 – SARS will be hosting a webinar on Thursday, 30 November 2023, on the automation of the Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) application process.
In line with Strategic Objective 6: Modernise our systems to provide digital and streamlined online services to enable traders to meet their obligations simply, easily, and anywhere, SARS is pleased to announce that a digitised and streamlined solution to assist prospective AEO accreditation applicants to submit electronic applications for AEO accreditation on a user-friendly electronic platform will be available from 8 December 2023.
The digitisation of the AEO application process will provide traders with:
· a streamlined application process for AEO accreditation through the implementation of an automated RLA platform for AEO;
· enhanced self-service functionality that empowers traders to manage their own registration and licensing profiles; and
· increased accessibility to the AEO programme through a digitised application process that eliminates excessive paperwork, making it easier for traders to become accredited AEOs in line with SARS Strategic Objective 2: Make it easy for taxpayers and traders to comply with their obligations.
The webinar will provide further insights into this new application platform and the end-to end process of AEO accreditation application.
As an important stakeholder, you are invited to join the webinar, and you may also extend the invitation to other interested parties.
