The GCC Authorized Economic Operator (GCC AEO) is a certification granted by GCC customs authorities to businesses demonstrating high compliance with trade regulations and security standards. Rooted in the WCO’s SAFE Framework, it fosters mutual trust between customs and the private sector. Though voluntary, the program offers significant benefits and is open to all supply chain participants—importers, exporters, manufacturers, customs brokers, freight forwarders, logistics providers, and terminal operators. Becoming a GCC AEO enhances trade facilitation, builds credibility, and strengthens supply chain security across the region.
