CBAM

On 1 October 2023, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism came into effect. Many companies already report on their carbon footprint, and as we approach 2030, and "Fit for 55", (reducing the EU emissions by at least 55%), more companies will have to comply.

AEO

Embassy Freight Rotterdam has been AEO certified since December 21st, 2010. AEO stands for Authorised Economic Operator. This certificate is issued by the customs authorities and declares that a company complies with all requirements concerning the international transportation of goods.

For our customers this means that goods transported by our services are subject to fewer custom inspections. In addition, when a customs inspection is conducted, it can be done at the place of unloading.
