Mercator is delighted to have been awarded Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) status by HMRC. Conducting business with a company holding AEO status means you are dealing with an entity which has been proven to uphold certain standards in tax and customs compliance, customs record keeping, practical standards of competence, and financial security.
On a practical note, customs clearing goods with an AEO accredited clearance agent, means you and your company can benefit from efficient and compliant customs controls and procedures for both imports and exports.
A great deal of work has been put into our customs clearance processes and AEO application, including thorough inspections and audits conducted by HMRC. Achieving AEO status is a testament to our team for maintaining these high standards. Congratulations especially to our Directors who worked so diligently on the project.
