CSL Internationale Spedition granted AEO
Szczecin-based company has been granted a prestigious European certificate.
AEO certificate, granted by the Customs Chamber to freight forwarders, importers and exporters, certifies that the company awarded the certificate is a reliable operator applying transparent procedures and dedicated to safety and security. The AEO certificate is valid throughout the European Union territory.
The AEO status entitles the operator to benefit from simplifications in the customs procedures and facilitation with regard to customs controls – the company is subjected to fewer physical inspections and documentation controls and in case its consignment is selected for controls, it will get a priority treatment. - We can benefit, for example, from deferred customs fees and the co-operation with a customs office is more partner-like – explains Laura Hołowacz. - This certificate enables us to offer to our customers a much wider range of services. They may be also feel confident that the employee handling their consignment is a true professional – says Laura Hołowacz, director of CSL Internationale Spedition.
Team work
It is not easy to get the certificate. First of all, the company must go through a three-year-long audit carried out by the Customs Office. It embraces i.e. procedures applied in the company, the way the business records are kept, company’s financial condition, data protection and security procedures. An important factor affecting the acquisition of the certificate is the company’s solvency.
The acquisition of the certificate is not an easy thing, which is why all CSL company’s departments had to be involved in the process.
- Urszula Rogula, the AEO Project Manager, Andrzej Sulawiak, IT Manager, Mieczysław Góralski, head of Customs Agency and Marketing, Zbigniew Baszanowski, legal adviser and the whole CSL team – they made our success in attaining the certificate possible – says the company’s director.
