AEO Accreditation Achieved: Advancing Our Commitment to Trusted Global Trade

We are pleased to announce that our customs clearance division has officially achieved Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) status, an internationally recognised accreditation that strengthens supply chain security and supports efficient, compliant cross border trade. This certification allows us to benefit from simplified and faster customs procedures, helping us reduce delays and increase certainty for our customers’ shipments.

Gaining AEO certification is a significant milestone for our business, demonstrating our strong compliance with customs control procedures and supply chain security standards,” says Colin Robb, Head of Operations & Sales at Derry Bros. “This accreditation enables us to clear goods more quickly, with fewer inspections, ensuring smoother, safer and more efficient customs and international logistics processes.”

AEO status is granted to organisations that customs authorities deem to be reliable and low-risk within the international supply chain. Accredited operators gain access to a range of benefits, including expedited customs clearance, reduced checks and expanded opportunities to use simplified procedures. Achieving this status reflects our ongoing commitment to excellence in customs compliance, security and freight management.

“This achievement is testament to the hard work of our team and their dedication to delivering the highest standards of service,” adds Robb. “Becoming an AEO strengthens our position as a secure, reliable and trustworthy partner, supporting our continued growth and competitiveness within the global customs marketplace.”

This accreditation marks an important step forward in strengthening our customs capabilities and enhancing the service we deliver to our customers. We remain committed to upholding the highest standards of compliance, security and efficiency across all our operations.
