Congratulations to our Costa Rica team for this meaningful milestone!
Matthews International Costa Rica SRL has achieved Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) certification, an internationally recognized designation awarded to companies that demonstrate high standards in customs compliance, security, and supply-chain integrity. This certification positions our Costa Rica operation as a trusted and secure partner in global trade.
“Achieving AEO certification is a testament to the Costa Rica team’s discipline, compliance, and world-class execution. It reinforces our role as a trusted, secure, and reliable partner in the global marking and coding supply chain.”
— Daniel Sanchez Pérez, Global Logistics and Distribution Manager
The certification process involved a comprehensive review of logistics, finance, and operational procedures, as well as the implementation of enhanced security controls, documentation standards, and employee training initiatives.
This achievement reflects a collaborative effort across multiple departments, with strong support from our Global Trade Compliance and Corporate Security teams. AEO status reinforces our alignment with the World Customs Organization’s SAFE Framework, offering tangible benefits such as expedited customs procedures, reduced inspections, and greater trade facilitation.
This accomplishment not only strengthens our partnership with customs authorities but also underscores Matthews’ ongoing commitment to operational excellence, transparency, and continuous improvement across our global network.
