New AEO criterion - Did you know?

The UCC introduces a new criterion of practical competence or a professional qualification (UCC Article 39(d)) directly related to the Customs activities.

In the UK HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) understands it is unlikely that businesses will have a professional qualification so focus will be on the demonstration and evidence of practical competence over the previous 3 years.

This new criterion only applies to AEO Customs Simplifications (AEOC).
