Recently, Huizhou Customs announced that the city now has 56 Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) enterprises. Although these firms make up less than 1% of Huizhou's total foreign trade enterprises, they contribute over 40% of the import-export volume.

Regarded as a "green pass" and "credit card" in international trade, AEO certification enables companies to enjoy prioritized customs clearance procedures, reduced inspection rates, and exemption from guarantees not only in China but also in 57 countries and regions that have mutual recognition agreements with China. This effectively reduces cross-border logistics costs and serves as a "golden card" for companies seeking to enhance their international competitiveness and expand into overseas markets.
Moving forward, customs will promote AEO certification among more high-quality enterprises to enhance the resilience of industrial and supply chains.
