Customs simplifications: HUBER SE is an authorised economic operator (AEO C)

In September 2011, HUBER SE was officially granted the status of an authorised economic operator (AEO) of the EU. The certification allows HUBER SE to benefit from customs simplifications (AEO C). Also our customers within the EU will now benefit from even more efficient processing of customs formalities. Furthermore, the AEO certification helps us to make international supply chains safer.

Various criteria and requirements of the EU customs code, transposed into European law, must be met by applicants to obtain the AEO status. The legal provisions applicants have to meet include reliability, solvency and compliance with applicable laws and safety regulations.

AEO certificates represent a quality seal for reliable business partners. HUBER SE has basically complied with the provisions for many years already as the necessary organisational measures have been taken that would systematically guarantee the compliance with applicable standards. This includes provisional measures, such as information and education of all employees concerned on the one hand and monitoring of relevant company-internal processes on the other hand. The new AEO certificate is the official confirmation of our own quality standards.

It is our aim for the future to obtain the extended AEO certification that includes “safety” (AEO F).
