Mexico added its third arrangement of mutual recognition of its Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) program, AEO certification, an international initiative promoted since 2005 by the World Customs Organization (WCO), aims to have greater visibility and trust from all stakeholders involved in the foreign trade supply chain.

Mexico already has other mutual recognition with the United States and South Korea, and plans to initiate an action plan with a view to integrating another multilateral mutual recognition arrangement with the participants of the Pacific Alliance (Colombia, Peru and Chile), which also it would be signed during the global conference.

It should be noted that so far there are 69 countries worldwide that already have an AEO program.

Mexico has rules to certify importers, exporters, land transport companies, customs agents, and recently industrial parks, strategic and controlled areas, courier and parcel firms, and rail transport.
