As part of Asendia UK’s continued strategy to strengthen its status as a trusted international logistics provider, we are pleased to announce that we have achieved full AEO accreditation, sometimes known as AEOF (Full), which covers both Customs Simplifications and Safety and Security.
Why are we celebrating?
Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) status is an internationally recognised quality mark that shows Asendia’s role in the international supply chain is secure and has customs control procedures that meet Authorised Economic Operator standards and criteria.
Although AEO is not mandatory, it is becoming a quality standard, allowing us to continue to exceed our client's expectations. Operators wishing to achieve AEO status must meet strict criteria around compliance with customs legislation and taxation rules, security and safety measures, proven standards of competence or qualifications and record keeping. Our teams are very proud to have achieved this status which recognised the hard work they put in every day.
By operating with AEOF, Asendia UK accesses quicker customs procedures, can move goods into temporary storage between different member states and is recognised with trading partners that adopt the WCO SAFE Framework of Standards. Our AEOF status provides security and confidence to our customers, who are safe in the knowledge that it’s business as usual in a post-Brexit world.
