Breather for importers, ports

The move seeks to reduce congestion at ports and give greater flexibility to importers who are authorised economic operators (AEOs).

The regulations notified on Monday take forward the government's promise of "trust first, scrutinise later" policy.

This facility is available for those in the upper tiers of the AEO scheme a voluntary programme that makes trade hassle-free for importers, exporters and logistics players.
