Research On The Legal System Of RCEP Certified Operator

As a key component of the global supply chain,it is of great value for RCEP countries to continuously develop the AEO legal system and strengthen their AEO international cooperation,which will simplify customs procedures,improve the level of trade facilitation and promote international and regional economic development.At present,Chinese scholars mainly analyze the legal norms of AEO system in customs of various countries;The research of foreign scholars focuses on the institutional strategies of customs and trade facilitation in the United States,Europe and ASEAN countries and regions.Based on the current legislative survey and research,this paper explores the legal system of RCEP certified operators by using the methods of literature research,comparative analysis and value analysis.First of all,the specific content of AEO legal system is analyzed from the relevant provisions of RCEP,and a reasonable explanation and evaluation are put forward.The negotiation plan is the legal cornerstone of the whole AEO mechanism.In the context of friendly negotiation,the contracting parties of RCEP jointly agreed on the certification standards that enterprises should meet when applying for AEO qualification,and emphasized the prohibition standards from the negative side to protect the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises from damage.After that,they provided various trade facilitation measures for enterprises that obtained AEO certification,and worked together to achieve deep mutual recognition among members by exchanging practical experience and appointing customs commissioners.Secondly,the AEO legal system of RCEP should be put on the level of international law,and compared with other relevant legal systems in the world,so as to find similarities and differences and promote the positive development of the AEO legal system of RCEP in the future.RCEP is different from WTO in AEO’s legal review of certification standards.RCEP is different from the EU-Singapore FTA in terms of prohibition standards and negotiation purposes,but it is the same in terms of convenience measures and Commissioner coordination.The legal regulations of RCEP are similar to those of Japan and South Korea in terms of supply chain security and financial guarantee,but there are differences in the norms of prohibition standards and communication between enterprises.Finally,China needs to get important enlightenment from RCEP and continue to develop its own AEO legal system.However,there are still some difficulties in China’s current AEO legal system,including cumbersome review procedures and strict regulatory norms,and the narrow scope of mutual recognition with other RCEP member States,which makes it difficult to further deepen.By comparing the legal systems of RCEP and China’s AEO,it can be found that the reason for the dilemma is that the administrative logic of examination and certification and the experience accumulation of supervision and certification are different between them,which in turn makes their attitudes and beliefs about AEO mutual recognition out of synchronization.Therefore,it is necessary to make up for the omission of administrative review between China and RCEP,and at the same time enrich the experience of regulatory certification measures,so as to establish a positive attitude of coordination and mutual recognition and firm the will and belief of mutual recognition.
