Informe de progreso	27 junio 2025 — G/TFA/N/FJI/3 The Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) Framework was developed and published by the Fiji Revenue and Customs Services, and an AEO committee was formed in February 2018. The AEO was implemented on 25 January 2019. There are currently seven companies operating under the AEO scheme, where there is zero to minimal intervention from the border agencies regarding the clearance of the cargoes. Biosecurity Agency Fiji (BAF) has made informal agreements with the participating companies to offer similar services. Australia Border Force (ABF) has assisted Fiji in reviewing the AEO programme, including the AEO Framework, developing AEO applications, AEO Validator questionnaire, and AEO SOPs. Fiji validated the existing AEO (7) companies, as well as validated the new companies that expressed their interest in joining the AEO Programme. This resulted in the increase of the number of AEO companies from 7 to 23 in February 2025 (below links for more information) https://frcs.org.fj/?s=AEO https://frcs.org.fj/news/2025-2/frcs-renews-gold-card-and-authorized-economic-operator-aeo-membership/ Areas of assistance required: Fiji requires assistance for Ministry of Health and Medical Services (Food Unit), Fiji Ports Terminal Ltd, Airports Fiji Ltd and Biosecurity Agency Fiji (BAF) to implement formal authorized operator regimes. Fiji is investigating future regional AO relationships within the Pacific and may require assistance as this concept is being developed.
