The AEO certification, issued by the Swiss Federal Customs Office, attests that Franzosini is a reliable, secure and compliant operator with international customs regulations.
The AEO (Authorized Economic Operator) is an internationally recognised status identifying economic operators deemed reliable and secure by customs authorities. To obtain certification, Franzosini had to demonstrate compliance with rigorous criteria: customs legislation compliance, adequate accounting system, financial solvency, professional competencies and security standards.
Entrusting customs operations to an AEO certified forwarder brings tangible advantages: simplified and accelerated clearance procedures, fewer physical and documentary controls, inspection priority, access to simplified customs procedures. For companies regularly importing or exporting through Switzerland, this translates into faster times and reduced costs.
Swiss AEO status is mutually recognised by the European Union and numerous other countries through mutual recognition agreements. This means AEO certification benefits extend to customs operations in partner countries, facilitating international trade throughout the logistics chain managed by Franzosini.
