Status Authorised Economic Operator (AOE)
Dear Sir or Madam!
The increasing globalization and the changing international security situation have disposed the World
Customs Organization to create a worldwide framework for a modern and effective risk management in
customs authorities ("Framework of Standards to Secure and Facilitate Global Trade" - SAFE).
The European Union has transferred these security-political aspects in April 2005 into European Law by
changing the customs regulations and releasing a new executive order. One essential detail of this
security initiative is the introduction of the status Authorised Economic Operator (AEO).
Since January 2008 all companies which are located in the European Union and which are involved in
customs activities can apply for the status AEO at their responsible customs authority. This status allows
privileges at security-relevant customs controls and simplifications according to customs regulations.
The purpose is the protection of the whole international supply chain.
The status Authorised Economic Operator is valid in all countries of the European Union and is not limited
in time. This status can be awarded in 3 different versions:
•
AEO-Certificate "Customs Simplifications" (AEO-C)
•
AEO-Certificate "Safety" (AEO-S)
•
AEO-Certificate "Customs Simplifications/Safety" (AEO-F).
The idea of this certification is to control global companies and to assure that those companies become
safe market participants. It is planned that the status AEO will be introduced all over the world. This status
does not exist only in the European Union, a similar status exists already in the United States of America
concerning import (C-TPAT: Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism). The target of the WCO is to
create this status in all other countries.

-2TAKATA-PETRI has applied for AEO-F in March 2008. In order to reach the status AEO-F a lot of
different security-relevant processes have to be implemented inside the company.
One of the basic premises for receiving the AEO certificate is to guarantee supply chain security. This
means that all members in the supply chain who are in the sphere of TAKATA-PETRI (suppliers,
customers, logistics service providers, external providers) have to be checked if they fulfil all AEO-relevant
security requirements.
Therefore we ask you to inform us if your company already received an AEO certificate (AEO-S or AEOF).
If your company already reached the status AEO (AEO-S or AEO-F) please send us via e-mail a copy of
the certificate and the corresponding approval number.
In this case your company fulfils automatically the security requirements of TAKATA-PETRI.
st
If not, we ask you to sign the attached security declaration and send it to us via e-mail until 31 of August
2008.
Please send the documents to the following e-mail addresses:
simon.ruettger@eu.takata.com and lothar.koessler@eu.takata.com
We would like to point out that the security requirements of AEO will be part of the General Terms and
Conditions of TAKATA-PETRI.
If you have any questions about AEO please contact your local customs authority. In case of doubt you
