CustomsAudit, which provides AEO certificate consultancy services to companies from all sectors, is the most experienced company in Türkiye in this field. 20% of the companies certified by the Ministry of Commerce walked this path with CustomsAudit...
The Authorized Economic Operator Certificate is a status certificate given to reliable companies by the Ministry of Commerce. It is an internationally valid document that is applied in 97 countries implemented by the World Trade Organization and the World Customs Organization to ensure the reliability of every link of the supply chain, which accelerates the procedures in terms of the execution of customs procedures and reduces customs clearance costs by approximately 27%.
Our company, which has managed the process of approximately 20% of the companies with AEO in Türkiye, is at your side with its services in the field of AEO and ensuring its continuity. We have FULL confidence in ourselves as we have not had any unsuccessful projects so far.
AEO Project Consultancy
The AEO process is completed with many stages, one side of which is the state, and some requirements are met. The application is made to the regional directorate electronically via e-devlet and all necessary documents are uploaded to the system and the process is followed via e-devlet. After the formal control, the Regional Directorate sends the file to the General Directorate and every answer given here and every procedure presented is examined one by one. After the positive completion of this stage, the Trade Inspector comes to the facility and checks the application and safety standards. It is important to get support from experts in this process, as the tide of the process is shortened from the Ministry and it is subjected to physical control by the inspector at the end of the process.
We have never had any unsuccessful projects by approaching the subject with the logic of a project, dedicating only to your company every day, not seeing the process as obtaining a certificate, but adding value to you. Contact us to see our working method and difference.
AEO Facility Addition Consultancy
In cases where the companies with AEO start operating in a new facility, rent a new facility or receive service from a new facility, it is necessary to notify the Regional Directorate within 5 working days from the date of actual operation. After this notification, a delegation from the Zone Directorate comes and checks on site whether the physical condition of the facilities and security practices have the safety and security conditions sought in AEO.
Therefore, this process consists of repeating a part of the AEO application process. It is necessary to prepare well and make the facility physically suitable before the region arrives. In the management of this process, we are with you with our expert AEO staff in the stages of preparing all application documents, checking the physical conditions of the facilities and reporting them as GAP Analysis, and preparing for the regional directorate audit.
AEO Update Consultancy
Every five years, companies with AEO are required to update their applications and submit all documents submitted during the application to the Ministry again. In this process, the questionnaire, relevant annexes and other application documents are re-prepared. After the file submitted to the Ministry is examined by the experts in the General Directorate, the file is sent to the inspector and the inspector physically examines it again.
In this process, although the AEO certificate does not lose its validity and the document continues to be used, it is important to manage the process correctly due to the on-site inspection by both the General Directorate and the inspector. In this process, if it is determined that there is a deficiency or that the AEO conditions are not met, the suspension of the AEO certificate is encountered.
Rest assured that we will provide the best service with our approach to the process, not as an update, but as an AEO project from scratch.
AEO Sustainability Audit
The Authorized Economic Operator Certificate is not a document that is obtained once and hung on the wall. It is a continuous system in which the corporate structures, internal control mechanisms, customs rules compliance processes, and workflows of the companies are implemented and monitored in a controlled manner. During the application process of companies with AEO, the applications that have been committed to the Ministry and approved by the Ministry must be present in the company without interruption.
For this, it is checked whether it is protected with 5-year updates, Annual Activity Reports prepared every year and sudden inspections that can be carried out by the Regional Directorate.
Considering that the dynamics within the company may change during this period, as CustomsAudit, we check whether the applications that the companies with AEO initially undertook continue both procedurally, in ERP systems and physically, with our audits every 6 months or once a year, and if there is a failing, we report it for correction.
ISO 9001 and 27001 Consultancy and Certification support
The prerequisite for applying for AEO is to have ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certificates. In cases where companies do not have these documents accrediting their corporate management systems and information security or are not in the format determined by the Ministry, the AEO application is rejected.
Together with our solution partners, we are pleased to support your ISO processes with our service approach that will add value to your company.
