SAL Heavy Lift Finland Gains AEO Certificate

SAL Heavy Lift Finland Oy gained the AEO (Authorized Economic Operator) certificate on Dec 19, 2012 as the first subsidiary of a heavy lift cargo carrier. The AEO certificate issued by the European Commission is valid from Jan 8, 2013.

European Member States can grant the AEO status to any economic operator meeting the following common criteria: customs compliance, appropriate record-keeping, financial solvency and, where relevant, appropriate security and safety standards.

An AEO-certified company is to advance security-related issues together with the contracting party. AEO status speeds up gaining some of the permits from the Customs in all EU countries, improves the security of the entire logistics and entitles to use the knowledge of the Customs professionals.
