Canal Movers & Logistics Corp in Panama has achieved Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) certification. It is the first international moving company in Latin America and the Caribbean to do so.

AEO is a global accreditation programme from the World Customs Organization that facilitates trade, improves safety and security, and standardizes the application of customs controls.  It validates the safety of the supply chain process and compliance of customs procedures and so allows priority treatment, resulting in fewer inspections and delayed shipments.

AEO adds to the Canal Movers’ current certifications: ISO 9001-2015, FAIM Plus, LACMA Certified Packers, and Business Alliance for Secured Commerce (BASC). The company said that it guarantees that its operations are performed following global security policies.  “Canal Movers & Logistics Corp commits to keep improving the quality of our services,” said Walter M Laffitte, President & CEO.
