Commendations from the WCO, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, CBP and SUNAT. Elements of the SUNAT work were incorporated into Peruvian law.
SIMS connects policy, risk methodology, operating controls, stakeholder adoption, training and technology in government and multilateral programs. The WCO SAFE Framework places AEO/OEA within a global customs-business partnership model; the work is making that model operate.
What SIMS does here
National program architecture
National AEO/OEA program architecture, modernization, validation methods, and mutual-recognition readiness.
Risk & selectivity
Risk engines, selectivity, anomaly methodology, post-clearance controls, and performance metrics.
Corridors & integration
Secure-corridor, e-seal, cargo-tracking and single-window integration concepts and pilots.
Program delivery
Project initiation, governance, implementation plans, stakeholder programs, financial cases, and donor-ready submissions.
Institutional capability
Capability building for customs officers and private-sector participants.
Interoperability
Connecting Port Community Systems (PCS) and National Single Windows with digital trade corridors, so a declaration, a custody event and a release decision reference the same record across systems and borders.
Operator readiness
For companies: gap assessment against national AEO/OEA criteria, remediation plan, and audit-ready documentation.
Frequently asked questions
Can SIMS grant AEO/OEA status?
No. Authorization is a customs-administration decision. SIMS designs the program, the validation methodology and the capability behind it, or prepares an operator to meet the criteria.
Best fit?
Customs administrations, revenue authorities, finance ministries, development partners, and prime contractors.
Certification, validation, refund and clearance are agency decisions and are never guaranteed. Recovery amounts and timelines depend on the facts.
For administrations: a briefing on program architecture. For operators: a gap review against your national criteria.
