The Belgium Office of Vanguard Logistics Services is pleased to announce that it has obtained its AEO (Authorized Economic Operator) certification on November 24, 2015. Certificate Number BE AEOF0000191GDA is for Full Certification and is the highest level achievable in the EU program. Certificate number BE AEOS000192GDA is for Security and Safety Certification and allows us to benefit from arrangements under mutual recognition agreements with third countries. Both certificates will now be prominently displayed within the office.
AEO status is an internationally recognized quality mark indicating that your role in the international supply chain is secure, and that your customs controls and procedures are efficient and compliant. It isn't mandatory, but it gives quicker access to certain simplified customs procedures and in some cases, the right to 'fast-track' your shipments through some of the customs safety and security processes.
This certification is one more way Vanguard is confirming its ability to maintain trust, reliability and compliance.
