Macintyre Scott Xtra (MSX) is celebrating its success after gaining a coveted AEO (Authorised Economic Operator) accreditation from the HMRC.
AEO status is an internationally recognised endorsement indicating that MSX’s role in the international supply chain is secure, and that its customs controls and procedures are both highly efficient and compliant.
The certification from HMRC gives quicker access for MSX to certain simplified customs procedures and in some cases the right to ‘fast-track’ its shipments through some customs, safety and security procedures.
Nicola Ridges-Jones, managing director of MSX, said: “We are all delighted. We’ve worked incredibly hard to achieve this accreditation from HMRC and I personally would like to thank the team for all their hard work. It’s the icing on the cake!”
Nicola continues: “This really sets us apart from our main competitors. AEO status is a voluntary compliance, which is not easy to obtain. It shows that we’re meeting the highest compliance standards in all aspects of our operations.”
MSX is a leading UK specialist in bonded warehousing, logistics and distribution for the travel retail industry to high profile customers including airports, airlines, cruise ships and ferry operators in the UK, Europe and beyond.
