Another milestone for AEO Brazil 

This week I participated as Key Note Speaker at the inauguration of the AEO Brazil Customs-Private Sector Forum. 

For a compliance management partnership programme like an Authorized Economic Operator concept, it is essential to have a structured and well organized platform for dialogue between participating agencies and business about the programme. 

More than 100 representatives from Brazilian AEO companies participated in the meeting, which was a great success. 

The Under-Secretary of the Federal Revenue Authority, Mr. Ronaldo Medina, opend the meeting that was moderated by the Executive Secretary of Allianca Procomex, Mr. John Mein. 

I had the honor to speak and give advise on Customs-Business Partnership & Cooperation and sharing the international experience of AEO Consultative Forums. 

A representive from an AEO company stated that his company has saved 12-17 days in their goods flow through the new AEO Brazil processes. A fantastic result, a lot of saved costs and music for my ears. 

“We have saved 12-17 days in our goods flow through the new AEO Brazil processes and being an AEO company…”

This is exactly what happens when an AEO programme is designed, developed and implemented in the correct way in line with international best practices.
