The objective of the AEO programme is to secure the international supply chain from the manufacturer of an article to the end user. Issuance of this certification is therefore associated with extensive investigations regarding reliability, solvency, prior compliance with statutory and customs regulations, and fulfilment of certain safety and security standards.

Certification as an Authorized Economic Operator identifies Dallmeier as a reliable, trustworthy organisation in international commerce. As an AEO, the company may avail itself of advantages in the customs clearance procedure, such as simplified, faster customs clearance or fewer customs checks. The status of AEO represents an internationally recognised seal of approval and a quality feature for customers and business partners.

In conjunction with its certification as "Known Consignor", which Dallmeier obtained at the end of last year, and which entitles Dallmeier to ship "secure air freight", this status is further proof of the high quality standards the Dallmeier company attains consistently.
