2. AEO
• How can I become AEO?
1. Application for
an AEO certificate
•
•
•
•
2. Pre-audit
• Update the customer image (internal/external sources, interviews, …) of the applicant ;
• Determination of the stakeholder type, the audit scope and development of the risk matrix;
• Control activities (design effectiveness, operational effectiveness).
3. Certification
• Assessment of remaining risks of the applicant;
• Granting of AEO status;
4. Follow-up via
the control plan
• Future follow-up: AEO audits + customs controls;
• Update customer image;
• Revocation of AEO certificate is possible if necessary;
Formal certification request to the Belgian Customs and determine the requested type of certificate;
Submission of a self-assessment and supporting documentation (not mandatory);
Communication with applicant and other customs authorities within EU;
Check of the legal capacity of the applicant;
Focus on a partnership with applicants: faster procedures and less on-site audits in case of a well
documented self assessment

1. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)




“TAG” wordt in container geplaatst en geactiveerd.
Opvolgingssysteem : Op zoveel mogelijk plaatsen worden TAG-readers geïnstalleerd.
Nadelen :
 infrastructuurgebonden
 locatie en status container enkel zichtbaar wanneer container langs reader passeert
Voordelen :

TAG is goedkoop en makkelijk inwisselbaar

Geen batterijproblemen met TAG (8 jaar), dus makkelijk beheer van TAG’s
2. Sateliettechnologie




“TAG” met zendertje wordt in container geplaatst en geactiveerd.
Opvolgingssysteem : Via sateliet is centrale opvolging continu.
Nadelen :
 autonomie batterij TAG : max. 6 maand, dan herladen : beheer van TAG’s is moeilijker
 iets duurder dan RFID – TAG.
Voordelen :
 systeem is niet infrastructuurgebonden. Het werkt onmiddellijk, overal en altijd.
 locatie en status container is continu zichtbaar

AEO is verantwoordelijk voor de ganse
logistieke keten
of
AEO werkt enkel samen met andere AEO’s
of
AEO sluit met veilige partners contractuele
overeenkomsten af
De door de AEO gekozen toeleveranciers
Zijn gekozen op basis van hun
Instemming met bepaalde veiligheidsregels
AEO vraagt een veiligheidsattest aan zijn
Commerciële partner
• De containers zijn verzegeld
met behulp van electronische
verzegeling of high security
seal
en
+
• De containers worden in de
installaties van de
toeleverancier en van de
ontvanger van de goederen
geïnspecteerd
en
• De integriteit van de goederen
en de afgelegde weg wordt on
line en in real time opgevolgd
d.m.v. Tracking & Tracing

4. Secured tradelanes
Geen controle per transactie, wel horizontaal
ketentoezicht
Studie van de universiteit van Stanford (juli 2006) :
Gebaseerd op innovators (11 fabrikanten en 3 Logistic Service Providers /ocean
carriers)
De potentiële voordelen voor de handel zijn tot
- 38% minder diefstallen en verliezen
- 50% verbetering van de toegang tot de data
- 43% verbetering van de automatische behandeling van goederen
- 49% verbetering van het douane inklaringsproces
- 29% verbetering van leveringstijd
- meer dan 25% verbetering van tevredenheid van de klant
Of ook : per 100 US $/container/maand investering
 return van 300 €/container/trip
