AEO status (Authorised Economic Operator) is granted to companies engaged in international trade. To obtain it, it is necessary to undergo verification for compliance with security standards and customs requirements.
The AEO status was developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO) and is applied to facilitate and accelerate customs control procedures.
There are two types of AEO status: AEO-C (AEO-Customs) and AEO-F (AEO-Full).
- AEO-C is granted to companies that have proper control of customs procedures and security.
- AEO-F is granted to companies that, in addition to the above, also have control over logistics processes and financial procedures.
Advantages of AEO status include:
- faster and more efficient processing of customs documents;
- accelerated customs clearance process;
- reduction of the number of inspections;
- reduction of customs procedure costs;
- increased trust from customs authorities.
