Austral Group recently obtained international certification as an Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) from the Peruvian National Superintendency of Customs and Tax Administration (SUNAT), after successfully passing a process of implementation of the program, which included its plants in Coishco (Áncash), Pisco (Ica), Chancay (Lima) and Ilo (Moquegua), as well as its headquarters in Lima.

Adriana Giudice, CEO of Austral Group, said that “the AEO certification places the company in a prominent position in the global customs sector, and demonstrates the company's commitment to safety, efficiency and regulatory compliance in its commercial operations.”

“The AEO program recognizes us as safe and reliable foreign trade operators, for which we access several local benefits, such as agility in procedures with public entities such as SUNAT, DIGEMID, SUCAMEC and SANIPES, and mainly the "green channel" for our containers in Peruvian customs and other customs around the world,” Giudice explained.

AEO, which certifies reliable companies that comply with security measures in the supply chain, has been implemented in more than 82 countries since it was promoted by the World Customs Organization (WCO).
