| AEO - Authorized Economic Operator |
| July 9th, 2010 Prime Cargo has officially been AEO certified |
The growth of global trade and increasing security threats to the international movement of goods have forced the European Union to shift their focus more and more to securing the international trade flow and away from the traditional task of collecting customs duties. One of the main elements of the security amendment is the creation of the AEO concept. Authorised Economic Operator, AEO, is a joint EU certification programme, designed to increase the security in the world as well as to harmonise the customs related operations within the EU and make them more efficient.
AEO – a corporate seal of quality
AEO is a certification of a company carried out by the local tax authorities. To optimize the processes and process descriptions of the company they are examined. If weak points or deficiencies are found, the company will either correct this or make an improvement plan.
Benefits for our business partners
The AEO certification benefits the import and export companies in regards to the flow of goods in and out of the EU:
- a reduced number of cargo inspections at Community borders;
- possibility to request a specific place for customs checks
- facilitations in the form of a reduced number of data that you need to provide in the summary declarations
- easier access to authorizations and permits
- a specially appointed customs support, serving as your initial point of contact with Customs
- Mutual Recognition of AEO status by major non-EU Customs Authorities
The AEO status serves as a mark of good quality and security for Prime Cargo and our business partners – the AEO Certification will become a global “Quality Mark” for supply chain security
