SOLO de México Earns SAT AEO Certification — Strengthening Security, Speed, and Trust in Trade
We’re proud to announce that SOLO de México has achieved certification under Mexico's Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) program, issued by the Tax Administration Service (SAT). This gold-standard certification is part of SAT’s broader customs and trade facilitation initiative, designed to recognize companies with the highest standards of supply chain security, regulatory compliance, and operational integrity.
What Is the AEO Program?
The Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) certification is a voluntary, globally recognized program under the World Customs Organization (WCO) framework. Administered in Mexico by SAT, AEO status is awarded to companies that can prove robust internal controls, secure logistics processes, and a strong compliance track record with customs regulations.
How This Benefits SOLO and Our Customers
Priority Customs ClearanceAEO-certified companies receive expedited processing at border crossings and customs checkpoints. For SOLO’s clients, this means faster deliveries, reduced port delays, and minimized risk of supply chain disruptions.
Reduced InspectionsSAT significantly lowers the rate of physical and documentary inspections for AEO companies. SOLO’s cargo moves more freely, with fewer interruptions and fewer surprise holdups.
Increased Trust and TransparencyCertification signals to customs authorities—and to our partners and clients—that SOLO operates with integrity and full compliance, strengthening trust across the logistics ecosystem.
Global Recognition and Mutual AgreementsAEO certification is recognized by customs authorities in other countries under mutual recognition agreements (MRAs). This facilitates smoother international trade—particularly with the U.S., where SAT’s AEO program is aligned with C-TPAT (Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism), a certification SOLO already holds.
Stronger Supply Chain SecurityThe program requires implementation of comprehensive security practices—something SOLO already embeds across its warehouse operations, bonded processes, and transport protocols. AEO certification validates these efforts.
Why This Matters for SOLO
As a leader in global supply chain solutions, SOLO is committed to delivering speed, reliability, and compliance across every international transaction. SAT’s AEO certification further enables our team in México to:
Reduce transit times for cross-border shipments
Avoid costly delays and penalties
Strengthen SOLO’s position as a trusted, secure trade partner
Align our operations with the highest international standards in customs compliance
We are honored to receive this recognition and will continue investing in secure, smart, and scalable solutions that serve our customers in North America and beyond.
