C.E.T.A.L. Srl Achieves AEO Certification: A Strategic Step for International Logistics
C.E.T.A.L. Srl proudly announces the achievement of a significant milestone: obtaining the AEO (Authorized Economic Operator) certification, issued by the Italian Customs and Monopolies Agency. This recognition confirms that the company operates in full compliance with the highest standards of security, reliability, and regulatory conformity in customs and logistics procedures. The AEO status, valid throughout the European Union and internationally recognized, represents a strategic advantage for businesses engaged in global trade.
Why AEO certification matters
Becoming an AEO means joining a network of trusted economic operators and gaining tangible benefits such as simplified customs procedures, faster clearance times, reduced physical and documentary checks, and priority treatment during inspections. Additionally, the international recognition of AEO status facilitates operations with non-EU countries and ensures enhanced security across the entire supply chain, protecting both goods and data.
What it means for our customers
For our customers, this certification translates into faster and more reliable shipments, with a significantly lower risk of delays or disruptions in international operations. It means partnering with a company that guarantees transparent processes, fully compliant with European and international regulations, delivering a service that combines efficiency and security at every stage of the logistics chain.
Looking Ahead
Achieving AEO status is not an endpoint but a new starting point. It strengthens C.E.T.A.L.’s position as a strategic partner for companies seeking efficiency, security, and innovation in international logistics. In collaboration with Grimaldi Lines, we will continue to develop solutions that make the Adriatic route increasingly competitive and sustainable.See you at LETEXPO 2025 in Verona!

VGM as per regulation - July, 1st 2016
As from 1st July 2016 the shipper of containers to be loaded on sea going vessels will have to determine and communicate timely the Gross Mass (Verified Gross Mass= VGM) of each loaded container. Gross Mass means the combined mass of a container tare and the masses of all packages and cargo items including pallets, dunnage and other packing material and securing materials packed into the container..
This rule is introduced in application of an amendment to the International Convention named SOLAS (Safety of Lifes at Sea) and requires the master of a ship to abstain from loading containers which are not provided the VGM by the shipper.
The international regulation can be found in the following documents:
- IMO Guidelines regarding the Verified Gross Mass; MSC.1/Circ1475 del 9 giugno 2015
- IMO Advice to Administrations…MSC.1/Circ1548 del 23 maggio 2016
The regulations applicable for containers packed and sealed in Italy are the following:
- MIT/Comando Generale CP, Decreto Dirigenziale 447/2016 dtd 5 May 2016
- MIT/Comando Generale CP. Circolare 125/2016 dtd 31st May 2016
