For the first time, in 2014 Israel imported more goods from China than it did from the United States ($8.1 billion and $7.4 billion, respectively). Israel and China signed an Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) agreement in early 2015, which promised to facilitate an increase in economic cooperation between the nations. Under the AEO agreement, Israel and China will enjoy a fast-track customs program, making trade between the nations less complicated and more streamlined. Until the signing of this agreement, the United States was the only country that Israel had signed an AEO with.
