What is AEO?
Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) status is awarded to businesses involved in the international movement of goods that meet recognised standards of customs control and supply chain security.
To achieve AEO certification, businesses must successfully demonstrate:
• Strong customs compliance with no serious infringements of customs legislation
• Effective commercial and transport record-keeping systems
• Proven financial solvency and stability
• Robust security and safety procedures across supply chain operations
The certification process involves a detailed assessment by HMRC to ensure businesses maintain high operational and compliance standards.
