Any company trading in Europe is required to be Authorised Economic Operators (AEO) certified with effect from 1 January 2008 if they are to avoid ongoing delays with their shipments, increased audits and difficulties trading with the US and countries outside the EU. Given the complexities involved in this regulation, it is essential that every company trading in Europe is aware of the implications for their business and, as an AEO compliant business will be given priority treatment at customs checks and find it easier to ship goods across third country international borders. In addition, they will be subject to fewer physical and document based controls than non-AEO companies and will be recognised world-wide as safe, secure and compliant business partners with customs. A course on this area is sponsored by HSBC and takes place on Thursday, 15 May at the Harbour Hotel.
