AEO in-house control
In-house control is a part of the AEO’s internal control. As part of the in-house control, the AEO must provide Customs with an annual written report on the internal control as well as in-house control reports requested by Customs.
Annual report on the internal control
All AEOs must make an annual written report based on the internal control concerning detected changes and measures carried out because of them. Changes in the company’s operation, the management of commercial and transport data as well as in the AEOS security requirements must be included in the report.
Customs separately requests annual reports from companies to the address: aeo(at)tulli.fi. The annual report must be available if Customs requests it.
In-house control reports
The AEO must oversee their own operation by reviewing their customs declarations retrospectively. These reviews must be reported to Customs on request. The in-house control must be continuous, and the company must archive the in-house control reports.
The number of declarations to be reported are specified according to the AEO’s role. Check the numbers in the table below.
Select a form for reporting based on the company's operator role. If the importer or exporter also carries out storage or transit, or submits security data declarations, these must also be subject to in-house control. In that case, use the forwarder’s form.
You can also submit the in-house control reports with the company’s own form, as long as it at least contains the same control objects as the Customs form.
