Abstract

International trade is a crucial driver for economic well being and
prosperity. The global trading system is vulnerable to terrorist threats that could
severely damage the entire global economy. To ensure continuous economic
growth, it is necessary to provide an environment that allows trade to function in
a secure, efficient, cost effective and reliable way. Customs Administrations are
in a unique position to provide increased security to the global supply chain and
contribute to socio-economic development through revenue collection and trade
facilitation. In response to this trend, the World Customs Organization (WCO)
adopted an international framework (“SAFE Framework of Standards to Secure
and Facilitate Global Trade”) in 2005. Pillar Two of the WCO SAFE
Framework provides global standards for launching an Authorized Economic
Operator (AEO) program. Under the AEO concept, the mission of the
Macedonian Customs has been increasingly focused on ensuring security in the
international supply chain, thus contributing to a safe and secure society. At the
same time, it has been focused on facilitating legitimate flow of goods through
providing trade facilitation measures to the operators who are compliant with the
supply chain security standards. This paper reviews the core AEO concept,
assesses its linkages with trade facilitation and analyzes the role of the Customs
Administration in this process. The goals of this study are to analyze the AEO
concept, especially in the custom’s operating environment in the Republic of
Macedonia. To achieve the goals of this study, quantitative and qualitative data
collection methods were used.
