AEO — Authorised Economic Operator
Custom Broker has been AEO since 2014. If your company wants the certificate, we guide you through the whole process: self-assessment, security plan and audit.
What AEO is
The Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) certificate is granted by the Spanish tax authority (AEAT) to companies that demonstrate compliance, solvency and security in their supply chain. It is valid across the EU and turns customs into a partner rather than a risk to police.
Custom Broker has been AEO since 2014 (renewed since): our declarations face fewer physical and documentary controls and get priority when controls do occur — advantages that apply to the declarations we lodge for our clients.
For your own company, AEO certification means fewer inspections, priority handling, access to certain simplifications and mutual recognition in third countries. In exchange, you pass a documentary and security audit — which is worth preparing properly. We run that preparation with you: diagnosis, self-assessment questionnaire, security plan and support through the AEAT audit.
Pricing: AEO consultancy is quoted per project based on the size and complexity of your operation.
