DSV Road, the road freight division of the DSV Group in Poland, has obtained the EU Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) accreditation.
The AEO status signifies that a company is reliable for customs authorities. A company wishing to apply for such accreditation must have a documented history of compliance with customs regulations and must have implemented recommended record-keeping systems and security standards. Authorised Economic Operators benefit from a range of customs control facilitations.
– The AEO status will genuinely facilitate our work – explains Wojciech Świętochowski, Customs Director at DSV Road. – Authorised Economic Operators are required to provide fewer documents, their shipments are treated as a priority and are less frequently subject to physical inspections. We will also be able to request that inspections be carried out outside of the customs office. In short: it will be faster, easier, and therefore cheaper.
The DSV Group has three customs agencies operating within the DSV Air&Sea, DSV Road, and DSV Solutions companies. They have temporary storage warehouses in Poznań, Ołtarzew, Gdańsk, and Kampinos. They can also perform customs operations at an Approved Place within the logistics center in Kampinos.
