Certifications

At the end of 2008 the procedure was started with respect to obtaining the AEO certificate. Sister company Ter Haak Logistics had already applied, followed by the other Ter Haak Group companies. As all companies are part of an internationally operating organisation with a range of logistic actvities, each company will be awarded the status of authorised participant (Authorised Economic Operator).

Once authorised a company is qualified to obtain a certain number of safety checks by the customs, ensuring smooth and prompt transactions and transit of goods. Risk analyses and procedures in terms of registration of staff and visitors, security and software are described in detail. The status is recognised by all customs authorities in participating member countries.
