Sub.:  Extension of Validity of AEO certification for ease of renewal process - ACC

Dear Member,     

Air Cargo Complex has issued Public Notice No. 36/2021 dated 28^th May, 2021 regarding extension of Validity of AEO certification for ease of renewal process. In this regard, CBIC had also issued Circular No. 11/2021- Customs dated 24^th May, 2021.  

Representations have been received by field formations regarding the difficulties being faced by the AEO entities in renewing their existing certification owing to various degrees of restrictions/ lockdown in different parts of our country due to COVIID-19 pandemic.  

Accordingly, the Board has extended the validity of all the AEO Certificates expired/ expiring between 1^st April, 2021 and 31^st May, 2021 to 30^th June, 2021, except for the cases where the entity has been found ineligible for continuation under the AEO Programme.   

Members may kindly make a note of the above. 

Thanking you, 

Yours faithfully,  

S. BALARAJU  
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
