The Government of Brazil consolidated all the rules related to the Brazilian Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) Programthrough Regulatory Instruction No. 1.985 / 2020.
The OAS Program, created in 2014, is one of the most effective tools to promote the facilitation of foreign trade in Brazil, the Ministry of Economy said.
The initiative allows actors operating in foreign trade and adopting measures with a high degree of compliance to benefit from the flow of their import and export processes. In the OEA Program All operators in the foreign trade chain can participate, such as importers, exporters, carriers, warehouses, freight forwarders and port and airport operators.
Amongst the benefits Benefits offered to AEO-certified importers and exporters include a reduction in the percentage of cargo selection for merchandise control, a reduction in the average gross time for import orders and clearance over AEO waters. Last year, for example, the average time for import clearance within the AEO program was close to four hours, about six times less than the average seen outside the program.
In addition to grouping and systematizing the rules that deal with the OAS Program, The new Normative Instruction adapted the terminology and procedures to international treaties recently ratified by Brazil: the Revised Kyoto Convention of the World Customs Organization (RCO/WCO), and the Trade Facilitation Agreement of the World Trade Organization (TFA/WTO).
La standardized customs terminology, facilitating international understanding of customs institutions, and increasingly computerized and less bureaucratic procedures, aim to insert Brazil into the scenario of countries adapted to the best international customs practices.
