The trust mark has been adopted by traders and logistics service providers around the globe. But, how important is it for you to get AEO status? And what are the benefits? The benefits of AEO status depend on the type of business you are conducting and the type of licence you acquire.

We foresee continued growth in the number of Authorised Economic Operators in the Netherlands, mainly due to the way that Dutch customs authorities need to focus on inspecting shipments that present the most risk.

Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) status holders benefit from simplified customs procedures due to their trading practices being audited and proven compliant. This allows them to trade at a reduced risk of customs inspections.

Being part of a supply chain with authorized economic operators means being part of a reliable supply chain. For more and more companies it is becoming a requirement rather than a preference. 

Customs Support Group is AEO Certified. Great! But what does that mean? AEO stands for Authorized Economic Operator. It is a concept that has been established by the European Union in 2008. The main goals are increasing international supply chain security and facilitating legitimate trade.
