What is AEO Tier T2?
AEO Tier T2 is an advanced certification tier for import/export businesses certified by CBIC (Central Board of Indirect Taxes & Customs). T2 offers significantly more benefits than T1, including deferred duty payments, global MRA recognition, and reduced compliance burden.

The Game-Changer: Deferred Duty Payment
T2's deferred duty payment means goods are released IMMEDIATELY after document clearance. You pay customs duty within 15-30 days instead of upfront.
Example: Importing ₹50 lakhs worth of goods, duty = ₹10 lakhs. Goods released immediately. You pay duty in 30 days. This ₹10L stays in your business for 30 days — huge working capital advantage!
MRA: Your T2 Status Goes Global
Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) means India's AEO T2 is recognized in 180+ WCO-member countries. Your exports get faster clearance abroad, reduced inspections at destination ports.
25% BG: Maximum Working Capital
Only 25% of normal Bank Guarantee required. For a ₹50L normal requirement, you pay just ₹12.5L — saves ₹37.5L in locked working capital!
