Certification · Chile National Customs Service
The AEO certification is not a marketing adjective: it is a seal granted by the Chile National Customs Service after auditing the security of the entire supply chain. STEPHENS keeps it in force — verifiable proof that your cargo is managed with secure, audited, compliant processes.
What the certification means for your operation:
Processes, people and systems validated by the authority.
Accredits that the operation complies with customs regulation.
WCO SAFE framework and mutual recognition agreements.
The Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) is a certification granted by the Chile National Customs Service, based on the WCO SAFE framework, accrediting an operator as secure and reliable after an audit of its processes. For clients, it is the guarantee that their cargo is managed to security and compliance standards validated by the authority; Chilean regulation also provides control and simplification facilities for certified operators. STEPHENS keeps the certification in force and appears in the official public registry.
