The Financial Administration, as one of the public authorities established by the Ministry of Finance of the Slovak Republic, issued the prestigious AEO certificate to SOS electronic in accordance with the regulation of the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union. Obtaining this authorization requires meeting very strict criteria. According to data from 2022, there were only about 18,000 companies across the European area that received this authorization. For SOS electronic, this means a significant step in logistics and confirmation of the quality of services provided. Customers are also assured of quick clearance of transported goods and the guarantee of a stable partner.
Importance of the AEO certificate
The AEO certificate stands for "Authorized Economic Operator." Holders of this certificate must meet the high security and customs standards of the European Union, which helps ensure smooth international trade and facilitates customs procedures.
Anna Varga, head of the logistics department, explains: “Holders of the AEO certificate are thoroughly vetted by customs authorities and must demonstrate that their internal control mechanisms, financial health, customs procedures, and physical security of goods are at a high level.”
Benefits for partners of certified entities
Thanks to the AEO certificate, SOS electronic can handle customs procedures faster and more efficiently. “Goods transported by an AEO certificate holder are given priority clearance, whether for import or export. They are less frequently subjected to customs inspections, and any inspection is swift, ensuring faster delivery of goods and their release into free circulation,” says Anna Varga.
Additionally, the company can forward customs documents electronically. In the event of a physical inspection, it has the option to choose the customs office.
AEO certificate represents new standards in logistics for SOS electronic
The AEO certificate is an important proof of quality that helps gain the trust of partners and customers worldwide. For SOS electronic, this certification signifies that they are considered a reliable and secure entity in international supply chains.
“The AEO certificate simplifies and speeds up international business transactions. Collaboration with a certified company guarantees a trustworthy business with a stable economy, recognized in all EU countries,” adds Anna Varga.
Support for international trade
“Obtaining the AEO certificate is a great success for us and an important step forward. Besides confirming high standards of security and customs procedures, it allows us to strengthen trust between business partners and customers. In today's world, where the security of supply chains is crucial, we are proud to be a reliable partner in international trade,” comments Ján Seszták, the company director.
The validity of the AEO certificate is not time-limited. This allows SOS electronic to solidify its market position and strengthen its status as a globally reliable and secure partner.
