According to the statement made by the Ministry, in order for companies to benefit from the facilities arising from the Mutual Recognition Agreement of Authorized Economic Operator Status (AEO) and other mutual recognition agreements planned to be signed in the coming period, they must approve the sharing of information regarding their certificates by the Ministry with the customs administrations of the countries party to the agreement.
Approval procedures can be carried out through the YYS e-Application System. The approvals given can be changed through the same system if necessary.
