AEOS Certification
2009
In June 2009 Wallenborn successfully obtained it’s AEOS certification.
The Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) concept is based on the Customs-to-Business partnership introduced by the World Customs Organisation (WCO). Traders who voluntarily meet a wide range of criteria work in close cooperation with customs authorities to assure the common objective of supply chain security. It covers economic operators authorised for customs simplification (AEOC), security and safety (AEOS) or a combination of the two.
The EU established its AEO concept based on the internationally recognised standards, creating a legal basis for it in 2008 through the ‘security amendments’ to the “Community Customs Code” (CCC) (Regulation (EC) 648/2005) and its implementing provisions.
