The Irish International Freight Association is the authoritative voice of the freight forwarding industry in Ireland, it was established in 1962 and has a membership that accounts for 90% of Freight Forwarders in Ireland and is increasing all the time.

It is a founder member of the Irish Coalition of Service Industries, and a trade member of the Customs Consultative Committee, set up by the Irish Revenue Commissioners as a trade/customs consultative body. Membership of those and other organisations enables the Association to raise matters of national concern at both national, European and international levels.

AEO Status

AEO status is a certified standard authorisation issued by customs administrations in the European Union (EU). It certifies that a business has met certain standards in relation to:

  • safety and security
  • systems to manage commercial records
  • compliance with customs rules
  • financial solvency
  • practical standards of competence or professional qualifications.

This is primarily a trade facilitation measure that recognises reliable operators and encourages best practice in the international supply chain. As an AEO, the benefits are:

 

  • recognition worldwide as safe, secure and compliant business partners in international trade
  • lower risk scores in risk analysis systems when profiling
  • priority treatment if physical controls are conducted
  • mutual recognition of AEO programmes under Joint Customs Cooperation Agreements which could result in faster movement of goods through third country borders
