Chairman of the Revenue Commissioners Mrs Josephine Feehily has awarded Irish company, CustomsMatters, Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) status, making it Ireland’s only dedicated customs service provider to have achieved this prestigious distinction. AEO status is an internationally recognised standard that is awarded to Economic operators. Making the award, Chairman Mrs. Feehily said “Customs has a duty to do everything it can to facilitate the flow of trade while at the same time fulfilling its fiscal mission and its role in protecting society. The AEO initiative was introduced to lessen the impact of the new safety and security controls that were introduced internationally, following the ongoing threat of terrorism to the global supply chain. It certifies that a business has met certain standards in relation to their security, management systems, compliance with customs rules and ongoing solvency. In this regard, it is very appropriate that we have CustomsMatters here with us today to receive its AEO Certification.” Accepting the awards, Stephen Tracey said that “The award of AEO status is a significant milestone in the company’s 21 year history of providing both software and professional services to importersand exporters. This award is the culmination of a lot of hard work from our dedicated trade professionals and positions us to help companies achieve a great degree of compliance in their international supply chains.” CustomsMatters is Irelands only dedicated professional customs service provider to have achieved AEO status. CustomsMatters provide a range a trade compliance services from Quality Customs Brokerage, trade compliance software, to full Customs planning and duty reduction services.
