About AEO
An Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) is a company involved in the international movement of goods and approved by SARS Customs as complying with World Customs Organisation or equivalent compliance and supply chain security standards. AEOs may include manufacturers, importers, exporters, brokers, carriers, consolidators, intermediaries, ports, airports, terminal operators, integrated operators, warehouses, distributors and freight forwarders.
What is an AEO?
An authorised economic operator (AEO) is a party involved in international trade that complies with World Customs Organization or equivalent supply chain security standards.
The World Customs Organization (WCO) defines an Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) as a party involved in the international movement of goods in whatever function that has been approved by, or on behalf of, a national customs administration, so as to comply with WCO or equivalent supply chain security standards.
AEO Certified
Since July 2023
Is Transglobal an AEO?
Yes.
As of July 2023, Transglobal Cargo (Pty) Ltd is an Authorised Economic Operator.
This means our rigorous internal processes in information systems management (integrity of information), merchandise security (integrity of employees and premises), compliance with customs regulations and economic-financial management meet agreed customs standards.
Essentially, an exporter working with certified supply chain partners vetted and approved by the import country's customs authority can assume the process will be safer and quicker than working with partners who do not have accreditation.
AEO certification is recognised globally as a mark of quality which recognises our role in the international supply chain is secure and that our standards and procedures are efficient and that we are a trustworthy business partner.
