AEO status confirmed by the customs authority

Authorised Economic Operator status — the customs simplification that shortens the road from an order to a delivered drum — has been confirmed.

AEO status is a statement by the customs authority about how a company keeps its records, its inventory and its shipments. For a customer outside the European Union it shows up as fewer controls and a more predictable date on the delivery.

It sits alongside the ISO 9001:2015 quality system: one describes how a batch is made and released, the other how it travels.

Export documentation is prepared in-house; the paperwork required for a specific destination is confirmed at order.
