Vivochem officially AEO-certified: more efficient and reliable customs processes for both import and export
At Vivochem, we are constantly working to improve and professionalize our services. We are proud to announce that we have recently obtained official AEO certification (Authorised Economic Operator). This recognition by Customs confirms that we operate according to the highest standards in terms of reliability, security, and proper application of customs regulations.
From our modern distribution facility in Almelo, we manage the entire customs process: from import and export formalities to financial coordination, loading, shipping, and global distribution. Thanks to our AEO status, we can now carry out these processes even faster, safer, and more efficiently — for both inbound and outbound goods flows.
Benefits for our suppliers and customers
Our AEO status brings direct advantages to our suppliers, customers, and partners:
Faster customs clearance
Our shipments are subject to fewer physical inspections and receive priority during checks. This results in shorter waiting times for imports and smoother flows for exports.
Reliable partner
Our AEO certification confirms that Vivochem is a secure and dependable partner in the international trade chain. Our customers and suppliers benefit from our recognized status.
Lower costs
Fewer delays and reduced administrative burdens lead to lower operational costs.
Optimized cooperation with Customs
We benefit from a closer and more transparent relationship with customs authorities.
International recognition in global trade
The AEO status is mutually recognized by the EU in cooperation with key trading partners such as China, Japan, Canada, the United Kingdom, and other countries with customs agreements. A key example is the mutual recognition between AEO and C-TPAT — the U.S. Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism.
Thanks to this recognition, we benefit from faster and smoother customs procedures outside the EU, fewer physical checks, and greater trust from foreign authorities.
This makes Vivochem a more attractive international trade partner, as we meet globally recognized standards in safety, reliability, and customs compliance.
“The AEO certification is an important recognition for Vivochem. It confirms that we have set up our international processes — from import to export — in a safe, structured, and professional manner. This status enables us to respond more quickly to Customs and offer our customers worldwide even more certainty, speed, and reliability.”
— Chantal Bisschop, Import/Export Planner at Vivochem
A major step forward
The benefits of our AEO status are immediately noticeable: fewer customs delays, more predictability, and a more efficient goods flow.
It highlights our reliability as a partner who knows exactly how international distribution works. This certification recognizes the work we've been doing for years and encourages us to continue growing and optimizing our processes.
