AEO training
In-house training course for your team
AEO certification is increasingly a requirement for customs simplifications and a recognised signal of supply chain integrity.
Our in-house AEO training course gives your team the practical knowledge needed to understand the certification process, prepare your organisation, and maintain compliance once certified.
Our compliance consultants have guided dozens of companies through AEO certification in the UK and Ireland — bringing hands-on experience to every session.
What is AEO?
Authorised Economic Operator certification was introduced by EU customs in 2007 as part of the EU Customs Code modernisation. It recognises companies that demonstrate a strong track record of customs compliance, robust processes and systems, financial solvency, and physical and security standards.
Certification is available in three scopes — customs practices only (AEOC), safety and security (AEOS), or full certification (AEOF). The appropriate scope depends on the nature of your operations.
