What entails Authorised Economic Operator (AEO)?
Another important concept is risk analysis. The Customs Authority wants to check the consignments selective. Next to the data concerning the goods, the economic operator will also be taken into the analysis, therefore it’s important to be certified as “reliable player”. The Customs Authority wants to apply the risk analysis by using the data of the goods, so they can check the security of the consignments when they think it’s necessary. This principle is called the stop-function, during the flow of goods, they will stop the shipment and check the goods. For import all this will take place before the goods are decharged in the entry points of the EU. (for example ports, airports). For export all this will take place on the office of export with the data of the export declaration, so the exit points or the loading berths (for example ports, airports) will not be confronted with this.
