What is AEO?
As a part of the EU Customs code modernisation, customs authorities need to look at more efficient ways to allocate resources using risk based techniques and placing increased reliance on the processes in place within trusted shippers.
Since 2007, customs in the EU have developed an Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) certification for companies that could demonstrate a strong track record of customs compliance, processes and systems in order to ensure adequate customs controls, financial solvency as well as physical and security standards.
EU customs have provided options to limit the scope of the AEO certification to customs practices only (AEOC) or to product safety and security (AEOS), in addition to a full scope certification (AEOF).
Depending on the scope of your operations, it may be appropriate to consider AEOC or AEOF. These deal with subsets of the processes required for the full certification, but the associated benefits of AEO are also restricted based on that scope.
