Japan's Ministry of Finance announced Friday that it signed the Decision establishing mutual recognition of AEO with the European Union (EU) and Canada on Thursday and on Friday, respectively.
This mutual recognition offers enhanced trade facilitation opportunities provided by customs to certified Authorized Economic Operators (AEOs) in both sides who have invested in securing their supply chains.
This mutual recognition with the EU is the 3rd the fourth for Japan, following with New Zealand (signed on May 2008) and with the U.S. (signed on June 2009). The EU had concluded the mutual recognition pact with Switzerland and Norway only. Japan is their first AEO mutual recognition country other than the European area.
