At ST STRATEGO we have a consolidated track record in managing and obtaining the Certification as an Authorized Economic Operator (AEO), a distinction granted by the Tax Administration Service (SAT) that recognizes companies that guarantee high standards of security and compliance in their international logistics chain. We have accompanied companies from different sectors of foreign trade – importers, exporters, customs agents and carriers, among other actors in the logistics chain – in obtaining this recognition.

The AEO certification process requires accrediting to the authority compliance with minimum security standards in terms of business associates, physical security of the facilities, access control, personnel security, security in the production process, security in information and documentation, and security in transportation, in accordance with the provisions of the General Rules of Foreign Trade and the corresponding guidelines issued by the SAT. The correct integration of this file and verifiable compliance with each item are decisive for the successful obtaining of the certificate.

For this reason, at ST STRATEGO we accompany our clients on two complementary fronts: on the one hand, in the process of obtaining AEO Certification, from the initial diagnosis of compliance gaps, the implementation of the required security controls and protocols, to the attention of the verification visit carried out by the authority and obtaining the authorization; and on the other hand, in the maintenance of the certification, through the implementation of maintenance programs and preventive audits that ensure the continuity of the required security standards and the preservation of the benefits granted by the scheme, thus avoiding any risk of suspension or cancellation of the certification.
