Authorized Economic Operator System

In today's international trade environment, compliance with security standards within the supply chain has become a strategic element for companies engaged in import and export operations. Certification as an Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) allows organizations to demonstrate that they possess the controls, policies, and processes necessary to guarantee secure, reliable operations aligned with international best practices.

The proper administration and compliance of the Security Profile (E3 Profile) is essential to meet the requirements established by the authorities, strengthen supply chain security, and ensure the continuity of said certification. In response to these needs, and considering the current challenges and requirements from authorities, Baker Tilly offers our "Authorized Economic Operator" compliance services. These are supported by a technological solution that facilitates the application, management, monitoring, and control of security profile compliance, enabling companies to keep their documentation updated, optimize internal processes, and strengthen regulatory compliance within their foreign trade operations.

The platform integrates various tools that strengthen information control and traceability within the organization, including:

1. AEO Profile Administration: The system enables structured control of every E3 Profile requirement, including policies, procedures, internal controls, and documentary evidence. This facilitates continuous compliance monitoring, information updates, and preparation for audits or regulatory reviews.
2. Business Partner Document Repository: The platform functions as a centralized repository to store, organize, and manage documentation related to the security and compliance of business partners, suppliers, carriers, and other supply chain actors, enhancing information control and traceability.
3. Renewal Management and Compliance Tracking: The system allows for tracking the validity of documents, controls, and requirements related to AEO certification, facilitating the timely management of updates, renewals, and recertification processes.

The application validates minimum requirements prior to submission and generates the formal documents required for renewal applications and/or annual payments.

1. Business Partner Audits: The platform integrates and validates necessary tax and legal requirements for business partners—such as positive tax opinions, contracts, and tax status certificates—as well as security-focused requirements (AEO Questionnaire) and audits based on risk analysis.
2. Alerts and KPIs: Tailored to company users, permissions, and roles.

The platform guarantees secure information storage, document centralization, and constant monitoring of AEO certification compliance, simplifying its administration within the company. By combining specialized technology with guidance from foreign trade experts, the system helps reduce operational risks and strengthen regulatory compliance.
