Efforts for AEO system

Kusuhara Transportation operates an international transport business as the only Japanese company of its kind, with certifications in all three AEO systems.

1. Fully licensed as an AEO operator
Kusuhara Transportation Co., Ltd. received approval from Yokohama Customs as an AEO Transportation Operator per the AEO certification system on April 18, 2012. We were approved as an AEO Warehouse Operator in March 2008 and an AEO Customs Broker in August 2010. As a result, we became the first company in Japan to receive certification in all three AEO systems for which international logistics operators are eligible.
2. Providing uniform service to customers
Ten years have passed since our company became certified as an AEO operator, and during this time, awareness of compliance systems and security management have grown within the company, we have pursued increased communication and sharing of information, and various workflows have become standardized, allowing us to provide more accurate and uniform service to our customers.
3. Strengthening security measures for international logistics shipments
We are shoring up personnel and physical security measures, such as through the installation of surveillance cameras and other equipment involved in warehouse operations, in bonded areas and elsewhere. We are also shoring up review systems related to handling of trade cargo and customs clearance operations entrusted to us by customers.
By obtaining certification as an AEO operator, we are subject to the basic security measures required of AEO operators to eliminate the three risks of theft, replacement, or insertion of international cargo at the time of departure, arrival, and transport. This requires operators in this space to share information with outsourcing partners and pursue further collaboration.
4. Lead time and cost reduction through easing of customs procedures
Going forward, all international logistics cargo handled by our company will be stored and transported across a supply chain of AEO operators with consistent security in all aspects of customs clearance, warehousing, and transportation, and this will be managed under a legal compliance system. This will enable us to provide advanced services to clients under the motto of “Safety, Reliability, and Speed.” Moreover, as customs procedures AEO operators have access to are eased through regulatory reform, this will allow for major reductions in lead time and costs in international logistics freight.
