What is an Authorised Economic Operator (AEO)?

Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) status is a certified standard authorisation issued by customs administrations in the European Union (EU). It certifies that an economic operator has met certain standards in relation to:

• safety and security
• systems to manage commercial records
• compliance with customs rules
• financial solvency
• practical standards of competence or professional qualifications

The AEO concept is based on the Customs-to-Business partnership introduced by the World Customs Organisation (WCO).

Traders who voluntarily meet a range of criteria work in close cooperation with customs authorities to assure the common objective of supply chain security are entitled to enjoy benefits throughout the EU.
