DSV in Ukraine is on course to obtain AEO status

12/ 01/ 2023

The Institute of Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) has existed in Ukraine since 2019, but currently only one company (the largest producer of tobacco products) has received such status. The implementation of the AEO institute in Ukraine contributes to the approximation of the customs legislation of Ukraine to European standards. Moreover, the AEO certificate is valid in all member states of the European Union. This, in turn, not only simplifies and facilitates the international trade and logistics, but also ensures the participation of Ukrainian AEOs in the formation of safe supply chains and increases their competitiveness both on the domestic and foreign markets. DSV in Ukraine, as a European company, has also decided to start the procedure for obtaining the AEO status. We believe world trade drives world prosperity. Moreover, it is one of the tools that can help business recover faster from war and resume growth. We follow a global strategy and strive to maintain leadership, strengthen our reputation not only on the Ukrainian market, but all over the world. Our partners and customers will be sure that our company, as a part of a global supplier, is reliable and in control, and their international supply chains are secure. In addition, the AEO status will provide DSV in Ukraine important benefits for daily business operations. For example, it will enable us to handle import and export of goods more efficiently and faster. We will have advantages at the customs authorities and be entitled to enjoy benefits throughout the EU. * * * The Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) status is an international standard authorisation issued by customs administrations in the European Union and introduced by the World Customs Organization (WCO).
