Can my business benefit from becoming an AEO?

AEO status is an internationally recognised quality mark that shows your:

• role in the international supply chain is secure
• customs controls and procedures are efficient and meet EU standards

It’s not mandatory, but gives quicker access to some simplified customs procedures and, in some cases, the right to ‘fast-track’ your shipments through some customs and safety and security procedures.

Anyone involved in the international supply chain that carries out customs related activities in the EU can apply for AEO status, regardless of the size of their business.

The workshop will cover:

• What AEO status is
• Who AEO status is for
• The benefits of having AEO status
• Types of AEO
• Compliance requirements
• The application road map to obtaining AEO

Who it is aimed at?

This workshop will provide significant useful knowledge to exporting business owners either new to export or experienced, senior management team and any third parties who are involved in the import and export of goods such as agents and freight forwarders. It also includes agents who are tasked with the mandatory financial or organisational responsibilities of a business.
