AEO accreditation January 1st 2010 Southampton-based Meachers
Global Logistics has gained Customs
Simplification certification as an
Authorised Economic Operator
(AEO) and is on track to meet the
Security standard early in 2010. The
HM Revenue and Customs EU wide
accreditation will prove increasingly
beneficial to Meachers Global
Logistics and its customers as regulations
tighten over the next two years.
AEO is a voluntary compliance and
security standard and is similar to the
US Customs and Trade Partnership
Against Terror introduced in the USA
following the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
AEO helps to enhance supply chain
security by granting recognition to
those audited organisations meeting
the highest compliance standards in
all aspects of their operations, and by
encouraging continual best practice. More articles from Meachers Global Logistics: |
