Dachser is an Authorized Economic Operator in Las Palmas

One year after receiving AEO certification in customs simplifications, the Dachser office in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has consolidated its position as an authorized economic operator, optimizing its processes, reducing time, and strengthening security and traceability in the international logistics chain.

The Las Palmas de Gran Canaria office was the first European Logistics Iberia office to obtain AEO certification, a recognition that reinforces Dachser's commitment to quality, safety, and efficiency in its operations. The choice of this location is no coincidence: its strategic position on the Atlantic makes it an ideal logistics hub for international cooperation. At Dachser, they continue to grow and innovate to always offer the best to their customers, appreciating every opportunity that allows them to continue advancing in this direction.

One year after obtaining Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) status for customs simplifications for its Las Palmas de Gran Canaria branch, Dachser confirms the key benefits this certification has brought to its operations and customers. This authorization, granted in July 2024 by customs authorities, has allowed the company to streamline clearance processes, strengthen supply chain security, and establish itself as a benchmark in efficient and reliable logistics.

The AEO certification has significantly optimized Dachser's customs management in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, enabling faster clearance of goods and reduced waiting times for customs procedures. "The first year with AEO status has been key to improving the efficiency of our operations and the quality of service we offer our customers. We've reduced time and costs, which translates into a more stable and competitive supply chain," says Celestino Silva, Managing Director for European Logistics Iberia at Dachser.

Efficiency and Security in International Trade

Since obtaining certification, Dachser has seen a positive impact on its logistics business. The AEO status allows the company preferential treatment in customs procedures, which has reduced inspections and facilitated the flow of goods. Furthermore, supply chain security has been strengthened thanks to the strict controls and improved traceability that this certification entails.

The European Union established the AEO program with the aim of promoting cooperation between customs authorities and economic operators, improving security and competitiveness in international trade. Dachser's experience over recent months has demonstrated how this certification provides tangible advantages, benefiting both the company and its customers.

Dachser, a trusted logistics partner in Iberia

DACHSER's Air & Sea Logistics division, specializing in international air and sea transport, obtained the "Authorized Economic Operator" (AEO) certification in customs simplifications in 2019. This recognition provides security benefits at customs controls around the world; benefits that Dachser extends to its customers, as its comprehensive customs-approved security standards not only simplify customs clearance but also serve as a distinctive mark for its global trading partners. This division has a total of seven branches, located in Valencia, Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Vigo, Bilbao, Alicante, and Seville.

With this certification in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and the AEO Customs Simplifications authorization for its Air & Sea Logistics division in Spain, Dachser reaffirms its position as a trusted logistics partner for companies seeking efficiency and security in their international operations.

The results after one year of certification in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria demonstrate that investment in quality and efficient customs processes are key to growth and stability in the logistics sector. Dachser continues to promote innovation and continuous improvement, consolidating its leadership in Iberia and strengthening its position in global trade.

Sustainability and Excellence

At Dachser, sustainability goes beyond reducing emissions. It's about optimizing every step of the supply chain. The simplified customs processes provided by AEO certification not only improve efficiency but also contribute to lower resource consumption, from transportation to warehousing. Through these responsible practices, Dachser not only supports its customers, but also the environment.

Ultimately, choosing an AEO as a logistics partner reduces resource consumption, contributing to environmental sustainability and offering companies a strategic advantage to grow in a competitive environment.
