ראשי » Our Expertise » Authorized Economic Operator

BLP prepares companies for AEO assessment, helping to secure certification as an authorized economic operator.

Objectives of the AEO program:

Establishing uniform standards for securing and facilitating the supply chain, and granting certain benefits at a global level
Enabling integrated supply chain oversight
Enhancing the role of customs and increasing its functionality in order to meet the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century
Strengthening cooperation between customs authorities, enabling the rapid, efficient movement of goods in legitimate international trade
Enabling a more effective focus on high-risk consignments
Strengthening cooperation between customs and the business sector

The following issues are examined in the security assessment process:

Security consciousness (policies and training)
Information security, access and confidentiality
Security of cargo containers
Security of cargo conveyance
Security of buildings/premises (physical security measures, access control)
Personnel security (recruitment process, employee integrity)
Trading partner security

Businesses that gain AEO certification and implement all the required security measures will enjoy greater efficiency in terms of supply chain management, reduce the risk of theft, and even increase their profits.

In addition, approved economic operators are recognized as reliable customs partners, and will therefore enjoy certain benefits, including:

Reduction and facilitation of customs inspections (export and import)
Notification of intent to release goods prior to arrival (pre-clearance)
Paperless processes, including using electronic signatures
Priority treatment in post-incident resumptions
Contact person at the customs authority
Exemption from importer’s affidavit
Fast-tracking at seaports
