Authorized Economic Operator benefits

There are many benefits of AEO approval including the following:

• Recognized status across the EU
• An industry “kite mark” and useful marketing tool
• A lower risk score used to determine the frequency of Customs’ physical and documentary checks consignments may be fast tracked through customs controls. If selected for examination priority will be given over non-AEO consignments
• Potential for future reciprocal arrangements and mutual recognition with countries outside the EU, for example the USA
