Authorised Economic Operator
AEO certification is an internationally recognised quality mark indicating that our role in the international supply chain is secure, and that our customs controls and procedures are efficient and compliant. Authorised Economic Operators are subject to less stringent day-to-day customs controls which improves supply chain efficiency. IFL was granted AEO accreditation in 2010.
Post-Brexit the AEO accreditation will enable the company to obtain early approval to comply with the new UK customs regimes being introduced to control the transit of goods to and from the 27 EU countries. This will include the increase in guarantee levels required to facilitate the movement of goods without customs border checks thereby speeding up customers’ supply chains.
