Shortage of AEOs impacting cargo operations: Customs

Simmi Jain, Principal Commissioner, Customs, ACC Import, Delhi Zone said, “AEO Certification is important for all industry stakeholders. I urge you all that if you have any issues, please feel free to discuss and bring forth the issue so that we can understand, we can solve the same. We are all basically looking at our country’s welfare. Maybe the solution does not come out immediately as we aspire but yes, there will be some movement. We will take the regional power to the board wherever it is relevant. But one factor, which is slightly impacting cargo performance is lesser number of AEOs are operating in the sector, which means the clearance time would be slightly higher.”
