The China–Uzbekistan Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) mutual recognition arrangement officially came into effect on Saturday, offering easier customs clearance for exporters from both countries.
According to the General Administration of Customs (GAC), China is Uzbekistan's first AEO mutual recognition partner, and the country has become Uzbekistan's largest trading partner and one of its biggest sources of foreign investment.
The AEO system, initiated by the World Customs Organization, is aimed at facilitating customs clearance for enterprises with outstanding records in terms of legal compliance, credit rating and safety.
Data showed that the trade volume between China and Uzbekistan totaled 64.77 billion yuan (about 9.59 billion U.S. dollars) in the first six months of the year, up 24.2 percent year on year.
Under the arrangement, companies that obtain the AEO status in the two countries will enjoy simplified customs procedures, such as reduced examination and prioritized clearance, which will significantly shorten customs clearance time and reduce warehouse and logistics costs.
So far, the number of economies that have signed AEO mutual recognition agreements with China stands at 34, covering 60 countries and regions. China has implemented the AEO mutual recognition arrangements with 53 countries and regions across the world.
