How to tackle the AEO Self-assessment?
Tuesday, April 20th, 2010
The purpose of the Self-assessment is to support economic operators in evaluating the requirements necessary for obtaining the AEO status. It provides Customs with additional information about the economic operator in order to facilitate the customs evaluation of the AEO-application and the subsequent examination.
Complexity of the Self-assessment
1. All departments are involved (HR, Production, Logistics, Sales, Customs, Security, Safety, IT,…). The internal communication is time consuming before a final agreed answer is written down on the Self-assessment questionnaire.
2. An EU model of the self-assessment questionnaire is available, but specific national provisions have forced Member States to create adapted assessment models.
3. Different languages can be involved.
4. It is nearly impossible to get an overview of the status of the self-assessment when it is in process.
5. The Self-assessment must be updated in case of changes, it is a continuous process.

On 1 April 2010, a new electronic system for monitoring and controlling the movement of excise goods (alcohol, tobacco and energy products) within the EU becomes operational. The Excise Movement and Control System (EMCS) will make intra-EU trade in excise goods cheaper and simpler for operators, while also making it quicker and easier for Member States to tackle excise fraud.
