Our customer BMW required strict AEO compliance flows all of which needed to be standardized and traceable. We presented Cargosnap and they loved that it eliminated paper entirely. Now everything is digital and compliant.

If Cargosnap disappeared tomorrow Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) certification would be the first casualty. Without it, Seabox would lose the certification that underpins customer trust, and many of those customers along with it.

The first results I noticed were during our audits. The auditor going through every inspection found it very practical. We started to see just how much practicality the app brought us — it basically leaves everything ready to go.

Does this look familiar?

The AEO certification process is known to get stuck precisely at these points:

Right now

Demonstrate months of consistent practice to the Internal Revenue Service, not just have a written policy.

Gather evidence scattered across email, paper, and WhatsApp during the Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ).

Different processes in each unit or partner in the supply chain — exactly what the RFB validation analyzes.

Being left without an answer when the Internal Revenue Service requests specific proof during the validation process.

With the help of Cargosnap

Each inspection is automatically documented, so when it's time for the Self-Assessment Questionnaire, months of evidence already exist.

Any record can be found in seconds when the Internal Revenue Service requests specific evidence.

Mandatory steps applied in the same way across all units and partners. One of the biggest delays in validation.

Evidence with geolocation reinforces the security of the supply chain: one of the central criteria of the AEO program.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the AEO certification

What is AEO certification and what are its benefits for Brazilian companies?
icon

AEO (Authorized Economic Operator) is a certification from Brazil's federal tax authority (Receita Federal) that recognizes companies with a proven track record of security and compliance in their supply chain. Benefits include fewer customs inspections, faster cargo release, and priority treatment in import and export processes.

What are the essential requirements to obtain AEO certification in Brazil?
icon

Requirements include a track record of customs compliance, financial capacity, a management system for commercial and logistics records, and proven physical and process security — all verified during the self-assessment and Receita Federal's validation.

How does the audit process for AEO certification work?
icon

The process involves a prior self-assessment, formal application through the Portal Único Siscomex system, review and validation by Receita Federal (which can take up to 120 days), and, if approved, publication of the certification in the official gazette.

What's the difference between AEO Security and AEO Compliance?
icon

AEO-Security evaluates physical and supply-chain security criteria, while AEO-Compliance (Levels 1 and 2) evaluates compliance with customs and tax obligations. A company can pursue both modalities to get the full set of benefits.

What software helps with AEO certification management?
icon

Tools like Cargosnap help by automatically capturing the operational evidence — photos, forms, and scanner data — that supports both the self-assessment and the ongoing validation required to maintain AEO status.
