EVENT DESCRIPTION

Who is this course suitable for?

This course would be suitable for anyone wanting to learn what AEO is for, how it can be put to use within a company, the benefits of becoming AEO registered and the paperwork process.

For those wanting enough knowledge to make a decision before committing to the process, this is the course to choose.

Any business involved in the international supply chain that carries out customs related activities in the EU can apply for AEO status, regardless of their size.

What does the delegate gain?

The attendee will gain an insight as to why their business should consider obtaining AEO status.

With Brexit now a reality, businesses trading with Europe are now becoming familiar with the need to Customs clear their goods when they are buying and/or selling into or out of the EU.

Whilst this in itself almost certainly means additional administration and cost, another concern is whether their goods might be delayed on leaving or entering the EU.

Achieving Authorised Economic Status (AEO) is one way to mitigate this risk as it is a benefit to holders of this Accreditation that their goods are given priority treatment when they pass through Customs borders.

It may also mean reduced Customs administration and associated costs when buying/selling not just to/ from the EU but across the globe.

This one-day course is designed to help businesses understand why there might be a benefit in achieving AEO Status
