Dear Esteemed Members and AEO Accredited Companies,
Greetings. I am Kim Chang Young, Vice President of the Korea AEO Association.

We sincerely appreciate your continued support for the Korea AEO Association

AEO certification is akin to adding the brand value of "trust" to a company's image by Breaking down non-tariff barriers for our import and export businesses. The Korea AEO Association, based on the core value of "Public-Private Partnership" inherent in AEO, will continue to work tirelessly to promote "K-AEO" and ensure that the brand value of AEO companies receives the highest recognition in the global market.

As the sole WCO Asia-Pacific Private Sector Consultative Group(RPSG) in Korea, our association takes the lead in protecting the interests of our businesses. Despite the growing trend of protectionism and the deepening of economic blocs, we are actively raising our voice and working to find solutions to customs-related challenges, ensuring that our import and export businesses shall not face difficulties due to non-tariff barriers and other obstacles.

Furthermore, we are taking the lead in expanding the AEO Scheme by sharing Korea's expertise in program operation with countries in the early stages of AEO implementation, such as Laos and the Philippines. Korea AEO Association also carries out AEO Validation support and training for AEO managers from private sectors, which are entrusted by the Korea Customs Service, without any issues, while maintaining the highest quality standards.

We kindly ask for your continued expectations and invaluable advice from our members and AEO accredited company.

Thank you.

Vice President of Korea AEO Association. Kim Chang Young
