The AEO program has been implemented by the General Department of Vietnam Customs ('GDVC') since 2011. During its 13 years of development, the number of recognized AEO companies accounts for a small portion of the total import-export enterprises in Vietnam, but the import-export volume of AEO companies accounts for more than 30% of the country's total import-export turnover.
