The AEO certification represents reliability and security as it confirms that a company is a trustworthy partner in international goods management. One of the main advantages for certified companies is duty formalities can be handed in a more efficient manner. Thus, certified companies do not spend as much time on customs procedures.
How our customers benefit from the AEO certification
- Customs can clear our shipments quicker, allowing for quicker deliveries
- Less controls for goods and documents
- Priority handling for the controls that remain
AEO proves that certain processes in the organization are regulated well, much like the ISO certification.
First, the company assessed the risks that arise in our supply chain. Since each company is assessed differently, we must ensure that measures have been taken to alleviate all risks so that we may fulfill the criteria for the AEO certification.
The criteria for the approval of the AEO status are:
- Observance of customs regulations in the past
- A satisfying system of the account books and customs documents
- Demonstrable financial solvency
- Compliance with the security standards
Once the criteria were met for the AEO certification, the main customs office in Rosenheim preformed a customs audit.
The security standards demands among other things limited access to our storage area, procedures to monitor incoming and outgoing goods, and documented procedures to ensure the safety and security of our stored goods. In addition, the proper customs handling and the correct responsibility of relevant aspects were checked for the certification.
The AEO certification shows what Power-Heat-Set GmbH strives for: A clear and trustworthy business culture within all areas!
