Enterprises with international flows seeking Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) status or looking to strengthen their customs compliance and security posture across the EU and mutual-recognition jurisdictions.
What we deliver
End-to-end advisory and digital enablement to obtain and sustain AEO (AEOC/AEOS). We map processes, implement internal controls, and embed evidence collection into daily operations—so audits and renewals become routine rather than exceptional stress moments.
Key capabilities
- Gap assessment against AEO criteria (compliance history, record-keeping, financial solvency, safety & security)
- Risk mapping and control design across procurement, warehousing, transport, and customs brokerage
- Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and training for staff and partners
- Evidence management: audit trails, access logs, exception handling
- Post-clearance monitoring, KPIs and dashboards
- Alignment with EU customs facilitation (simplified declarations, fewer physical/ documentary checks, priority treatment)
Standards & guidance we align to
EU Customs Code (UCC) and AEO Guidelines, ICS2 processes, data-quality controls, security best practices. Where relevant, alignment to ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 28000 (supply chain security) and ISO 27001 (information security)—without implying certification unless explicitly achieved by the client.
Technology integration
Integrates with ERP/TMS/WMS and customs platforms. Supports structured evidence collection, risk scoring, incident reporting, and continuous improvement loops. Ready to connect with our NEXT Customs and Visibility modules.
Expected outcomes
- Reduced customs risk scoring
- Shorter lead times through facilitation
- Lower compliance costs
- Stronger trust with authorities and partners
