New AEO permit provides increased security for physical and digital intrusion

AEO stands for "Authorized Economic Operator" and is an EU joint permit. The purpose of the permit is to create increased security in the world, as well as to harmonise the customs administration in the EU. In the spring of 2020, Spaljisten was able to implement both AEOC - Customs simplifications and AEOS - Security and safety permit.

Holding an AEO-S permit means that you have a facility that is secure against intrusion, both physically and digitally, to prevent, for example, the manipulation and smuggling of goods. Spaljisten wants to be able to give its customers a good quality and the best possible safety.

- Our efforts to secure our operations prior to the AEO-S permit have given us confidence that our operations are safe - both physically and digitally. Ulf Abrahamsson, KAM
