On January 21st, as boxes of neatly arranged intelligent components such as imaging modules and inductors boarded an overseas air flight, Wang Xiaoxue, the customs officer in charge of Zhuhai Xiaomi Communication Technology Co., Ltd., sighed: "With AEO 'credit passports', overseas customers are now more willing to cooperate with us. ”In the Gongbei Customs District, there are 165 AEO enterprises like this. In 2025, AEO enterprises accounted for 0.5% of the total foreign trade import and export value of the customs area, contributing 41.4%, an increase of 4.7 percentage points compared to 2024.

AEO is the English abbreviation for "Certified Operator". Certified enterprises can not only enjoy the mutual recognition and customs clearance convenience between China and 57 countries (regions) in 31 economies, but also 45 convenient measures provided by customs, such as reducing supervision frequency and lowering clearance costs.

Returning to mid January, Yue Kai, Vice President of Finance Department of Xiaomi Group, received the AEO Advanced Certification Enterprise Certificate from Gao Qi, Director of Xiangzhou Customs, at Xiangzhou Customs under Gongbei Customs. As a representative of private technology enterprises, Zhuhai Xiaomi Communication Technology Co., Ltd. has an annual import and export business scale of over 100 billion yuan. Last year, when companies applied for AEO advanced certification for the first time, they faced the practical problem of separating the main location from the storage and import/export operation locations. In response to this, we quickly launched the 'one enterprise, one policy' precise service, organized experts to carry out refined cultivation and guidance, established a certification working group to carry out on-site certification across Zhuhai and other cities outside the customs area, and helped enterprises pass AEO certification. ”Director Yao Lei of the Enterprise Management and Inspection Department of Gongbei Customs said.

Since 2025, Gongbei Customs has established an "AEO+" service system, tailored to key enterprises with a "group style cultivation+precise guidance+full chain escort" to create a "growth roadmap". At present, Gongbei Guan District has gathered a group of high-tech and advanced manufacturing AEO enterprises such as Gree Electric, Nasida, and Guanyu Battery, forming a high-quality enterprise cluster based on credit.

Under the precise cultivation of customs, we have improved and perfected multiple systems and processes such as internal management and supply chain security management in accordance with certification standards, and have also taken this opportunity to enhance the overall management level of the enterprise. "Wang Xiaoxue introduced," Our company's products are exported to more than 100 countries and regions around the world, and we expect to shorten the customs clearance time by 30% in countries that achieve AEO mutual recognition. ”

Yao Lei stated that the next step will be to implement the AEO mutual recognition and cooperation arrangements between the mainland, Hong Kong, and Macao customs, support more enterprises to make good use of the "golden signboard" of customs AEO, and help facilitate efficient and convenient logistics circulation in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area.
