The AEO is a European program aimed at economic operators who undertake operations covered by customs legislation in compliance with the conditions and criteria defined by the European Union customs legislation.

Authorised Economic Operator status is an internationally recognised quality mark that shows your business's role in the international supply chain and facilitates legitimate trade by striking a balance between effective controls and rapid trade flows. The principles of transparency, fairness and responsibility are essential for the concept of AEO in the spirit of the customs - economy partnership introduced by the World Customs Organization (WCO).
