First logistics AEO-certified company in Qatar
GAC Qatar can now offer some customers even faster customs clearance of their shipments, thanks to Qatar Customs certifying the company as an Authorised Economic Operator (AEO).
It is the only logistics company in the country to be awarded this certification in the Import and Export category.
GAC’s AEO status was awarded after a stringent audit by Qatar customs of the company’s processes, procedures, systems, customs track record, financial health and safety and security measures.
GAC Qatar and its customers can now enjoy a host of benefits including priority clearances, simplified customs procedures and inspections, and having a dedicated Account Official to address any issues faced throughout the Import and Export process. Ship spares customers for whom GAC handles imports and exports, in particular, will directly benefit from this certification.
“We are the only logistics company, and one of the first few companies in the country to become an AEO,” remarked Daniel Nordberg, GAC Qatar’s General Manager. “Our certification underlines our strong relationship with Qatar customs and recognises our clean track record with the Authority for over forty years,”” he added.
Established since 1979, GAC Qatar is one of the top three customs clearance agents in the country with an in-house team of 27 customs brokers covering all Qatari ports.
