An international recognition for compliant and secure trading
Over the years, AEO (Authorised Economic Operator) certification has adapted to new legislation, technologies and industry requirements. With increased pressure from supply chain partners on transparency and security, and as a consequence growing and changing regulation, AEO certification for businesses is increasingly important.
AEO is valuable to all operators involved in an international supply chain
Whether you are an importer, exporter, logistical service provider or transporter, all economic operators involved in the international supply chain can benefit from AEO certification. Our consulting team helps you to meet the AEO certification requirements to ensure your business is compliant and in control.

Improved reliability
AEOs benefit from personalised, streamlined treatment in terms of customs controls, as well as certain facilities in terms of customs formalities and guarantees. It can even enable your shipments to pass through security and safety procedures much more quickly.
In turn, this can reduce the risk of incidents of theft or loss in transit, and show your clients and partners that you take communication and security seriously.
A grip on your customs procedures
The AEO certification process will require you to evaluate your customs and security procedures, enabling you to assess the risks, advantages and options for securing your customs methods.
Having a detailed understanding allows you to get a tight grip on your customs operation. With the right measures, you reduce risks and start operating more efficiently and effectively.
Competitive advantage
In commercial relations, obtaining an AEO licence facilitates trade with countries that have signed international agreements recognising reliable AEO status. Invitations to tender for new suppliers or service providers refer to this status.
Accredited companies do not want non-AEO companies to be part of their supply chain, as this could jeopardise their own status, or create additional costs.
