What will happen to AEO post Brexit?

Question

If a UK importer is currently registered in another EU member country and has AEO certification there, will it be recognised by UK, post-Brexit?

Answer

The government hope to agree AEO mutual recognition between the UK and the EU post Brexit, however this is the subject of negotiations which will be held over the coming months. We may have more clarity after October 2018 on this point!
