Companies that want to become Authorized Economic Operators have to meet a wide range of criteria. They have to comply with customs legislation and taxation rules, they can’t have a criminal history related to their business, they need to keep appropriate records and be financially solvent. Their processes and documents are audited and approved by their local Customs Authority before they can become AEO Certified.
