CANOAS, Brazil — June 09, 2026 — Prolec’s Brazil site recently achieved Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) certification, a key milestone that enhances the company’s ability to support customers with faster, safer, and more reliable cross‑border operations.
For customers sourcing from Brazil, international logistics efficiency is critical. AEO certification grants Prolec trusted-operator status with customs authorities, allowing shipments to move across borders with greater speed, predictability, and consistency.
AEO can be compared to a trusted‑traveler program, such as TSA PreCheck, but for international cargo. Pre‑approved companies benefit from expedited customs clearance, fewer physical inspections, and reduced administrative friction, helping minimize delays and uncertainty at borders.
For Prolec’s customers, this certification translates into practical advantages:
- Faster customs clearance and more predictable lead times.
- Fewer inspections and reduced documentation complexity.
- Stronger protection of cargo, data, and operations against theft, tampering, fraud, and unauthorized access.
- Lower compliance risk and stronger alignment with U.S. and international trade requirements.
The AEO certification is awarded by customs authorities following comprehensive audits covering customs and tax compliance, supply chain security, financial and operational solvency, governance, internal controls, and process traceability. Achieving this status places Prolec’s Brazil site among a select group of globally recognized and trusted trade operators.
An Ongoing Commitment
This certification reinforces Prolec’s customer‑first approach and its continued investment in compliance, security, and operational excellence, supporting resilient supply chains for customers across the United States, Brazil, and Latin America.
