What is the AEO Certification?
In an increasingly globalized world, companies engaged in international trade face constant challenges in terms of security, efficiency and competitiveness. That’s why at TradeWorks, we take pride in offering comprehensive and specialized advisory services for Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) Certification.
The AEO Certification is a free and voluntary program whose primary objective is to strengthen the security of international supply chains. How does it achieve this? By establishing a rigorous standard that ensures certified companies meet the highest levels of security in both their business processes and operations, as well as in their facilities or work locations.
Certified operators receive benefits in terms of streamlined controls and simplified procedures, resulting in time savings, enhanced competitiveness and new growth opportunities. The AEO Program is present in 91 countries, with nearly 70,000 certified companies worldwide.
Benefits of the AEO Certification:
- No authorization will be required within the first three months when it is necessary to rectify any of the cases outlined in Rule 6.1.1.
