AEO Consultancy
Authorised Economic Operator certification — assessment, application and ongoing support
Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) status is HMRC's recognition that your business meets the highest standards of customs compliance, financial solvency, security and safety. AEO holders get faster border clearance, fewer physical inspections, mutual recognition with major trading partners, and reduced bank guarantees for duty deferment.
We assess your readiness, identify gaps against the AEO criteria (AEOC and AEOS), help you build the documented procedures HMRC will audit against, and support you through the application and on-site visit. We continue to support AEO holders after certification with monitoring and re-audit preparation.
