In Europe, a working group addressing this system was organized early on to make the necessary preparations for acquiring AEO certification. Having completed the application process, Nippon Express is now awaiting certification.
Nippon Express (Nederland) B.V. was selected by the customs authorities to be one of the pilot companies for this system, and in May 2008 it became the first Japanese company in Europe to receive authorization. This reflects the trust of customs officials earned by Nippon Express over many years of solid performance.
