AEO Authorized Economic Operator

You may or may not have decided to go ahead with an AEO certification but want to find out how you measure up to the requirements and thereby determine the gap and scope of what is left to do. Either way we are sure we can help you speed up the process and get your AEO project on the right track.

In Europe it has been possible to apply for an AEO certificate since January 2008. The requirements for AEO are common throughout the EU. Similar programs exist or are under development in many other parts of the world. In 2009, Norway introduced an own AEO certification program, based on the EU AEO framework. A number of bilateral negotiations are under way to achieve mutual recognition of AEO schemes resulting in an AEO certified company being recognised and given benefits in other parts of the world than the country / region where the company originally received its AEO certification. We expect that mutual recognitions will increase over time as bilateral discussions are successfully concluded.


After having helped a number of companies with their own AEO work we have become adept at tailoring our assistance to each company’s specific needs which has been summarised below:
  • Starting up your internal AEO process
  • Lead your AEO project work
  • Initial gap analysis of how your business measure up to the AEO requirements
