Kona Bay Secures AEO Certification from Customs

PT Kona Bay Indonesia has achieved a significant milestone by obtaining Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) certification from the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) of the Indonesian Ministry of Finance. This certification serves as official recognition of the company's adherence to high standards in compliance, supply chain security, and governance within its international trade operations.

The AEO certification was formally presented at an event held at the DJBC Headquarters in Jakarta. The AEO status is granted to companies that meet stringent requirements regarding compliance, security, and the management of international supply chains. This program, developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO), is implemented globally. To qualify, companies undergo a thorough evaluation covering their compliance with customs regulations, internal control systems, supply chain security measures, risk management, and corporate governance.

Jonny Susanto, Director of PT Kona Bay Indonesia, expressed pride in the achievement, stating that the AEO certification validates the company's commitment to operational standards that prioritize compliance and security. "The acquisition of AEO certification is a proud achievement for Kona Bay. This recognition reflects our commitment to running company operations that prioritize compliance, security, and good governance standards," Susanto said in a press release on Friday (June 19, 2026).

As a company operating in the aquaculture sector, Kona Bay has implemented various operational standards to ensure the security and efficiency of its supply chain. The AEO status signifies the trust placed in the company by customs authorities, acknowledging its fulfillment of established compliance and security standards. Beyond recognizing compliance, the AEO certification offers numerous customs facilities, thereby facilitating smoother international trade activities. Susanto attributed this success to the company's culture of compliance and continuous improvement across its operational aspects. Looking ahead, Kona Bay aims to further strengthen its systems and corporate governance to contribute more significantly to the aquaculture industry and support safe, efficient, and sustainable international trade.
