Enhancing the relationship between KRA and our compliant Customs stakeholders

What is AEO?

AEO is a preferential customs clearing programme that allows trusted customs clients to enjoy:

  • Preferential customs facilitation when clearing.
  • Reduced time and cost at points of service.
  • Customs certified secured and reliable trading partner when trading.


In Kenya, there are two categories of AEO:

  • National AEO - the benefits are limited to the jurisdiction of Kenya.
  • East African Regional AEO - this a more comprehensive programme since its members are mutually recognized by the East African Community.
