AEO Reassessment – Authorised Economic Operator

AEO Reassessment

An AEO re-assessment essentially involves updating the Authorised Economic Operator certificate. Thanks to the AEO re-assessment, you will be able to pass a customs audit of all AEO requirements at any time, including records demonstrating compliance with all AEO requirements throughout the certificate’s validity period.

Among the requirements that must be met in an AEO re-assessment, we highlight:

  • Company Information. The Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) status requires compliance with requirements relating to the company, its partners and customs procedures.
  • Compliance History. Ensuring compliance with customs regulations.
  • Company Accounting and Logistics Systems. Demonstrate the existence of adequate control systems, established within the IT system for both financial and logistical matters.
  • Financial Solvency. Analysis of balance sheets and annual accounts demonstrating financial solvency over the last three financial years.
  • Physical Security Requirements. Identification of physical security risks and the Company’s control of the logistics chain.

AEO Questionnaire
The AEO questionnaire used in the AEO re-assessment enables verification that security requirements, customs compliance and financial standing are being maintained, thereby ensuring the continuity of Authorised Economic Operator status.
The management of customs irregularities and incidents during the AEO re-assessment evaluates how the company detects, reports and rectifies non-compliance, ensuring effective controls, document traceability and continuous improvement in customs compliance.
Human resources management and training as part of the OAS re-assessment verify that staff are trained in customs regulations, security and compliance, ensuring defined roles, ongoing awareness and appropriate skills to maintain the requirements of the Authorised Economic Operator.
Updating documentation during the AEO re-assessment ensures that procedures, records and evidence are up to date, consistent and aligned with actual operations, thereby ensuring customs compliance, process traceability and continued compliance with Authorised Economic Operator requirements.
