Types

There are two types of authorizations:
1) AEO-C: AEO Customs simplifications
2) AEO-S: AEO Safety and security
The authorizations can also be combined.

Application and Renewal

Application for AEO requires an assessment to be completed and the set-up of written procedures for your customs related processes. These will be audited by customs prior to the issue of an AEO authorization.
Every 3 years there's a re-audit scheduled.
If the conditions for AEO are no longer met => suspension and ultimately revocation can take place!!

Common pitfalls with AEO applications


"It's only a piece of paper"

-
"Mr. X will solely make sure we get AEO authorized by the end of the year. I will put it in his KPIs" => risk for burn-out is considerable!

-

"It's just answering the AEO questionnaire" 

-
"In over 15 years we didn't run into customs issues, it shouldn't be a big deal to acquire an AEO authorization"

-
"It's only 3 months of work and then we can lean back!"
