Great first day of the 3rd WCO Global AEO conference in Cancun today.


For me it is great to meet so many friends and colleagues form all around the world. 


And naturally to share this experience with another old AEO & Stairway veteran, my old friend and brother-in-arms, Mr. Patrik Heinesson.

The 3rd World Customs Organization Global AEO Conference in Cancun, Mexico has started. 


More than 1000 delgates from all around the world are gathered to discuss the future of the international standards and implementation of the Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) concept.


It is amazing to be here with all colleagues talking about AEO, especially taking into account that this is an idea that once was born in Sweden many years ago. I was there delivering this ‘baby’ and now to see that pur ‘baby’ (AEO) isn’t crawling or even walking anymore – it is up and running. The Stairway lives. 

We are in Cancun, Mexico, to discuss the future of compliance management. KGH is global market leader on AEO and MRA models. It is natural for us to participate in the 3rd WCO Global AEO Conference.


This is our new material on AEO. We have worked with more than forty countries on AEO and Trusted Traders. We are currently working in seven different countries designing, developing and implementing AEO and TTP programmes together with Governments. 


We have also helped and supported more than 900 companies to apply for, validate, become and maintain AEO status. One of our specialities is to optimize the utilization of AEO programnes and the benefits for all stakeholders. This means that you could say that, KGH = AEO.
