AEO Certification

We all love being trusted, right? But building trust usually takes years—sometimes generations. What if you could fast-track that process and get a “trust badge” for international trade?

Good news! The Indian government offers a special certification for businesses like yours that follow the rules and meet compliance standards. It’s called the Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) certification, part of a global initiative by the World Customs Organisation (WCO).

The biggest perk? A “Trust Badge” that sets you apart in global trade. AEO certification proves your company is reliable, secure, and financially sound—making it easier to do business worldwide.
