Krishna Murthy, President), a subsidiary of Nippon Express Co., Ltd. (Kenji Watanabe, President), received official certification as an Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) in May 2014 from India’s certifying body. AEO certification offers simplified customs clearance procedures and other benefits to importers, exporters and similar parties deemed exceptionally compliant with cargo security standards, and obtaining this certification requires companies to meet exacting screening criteria by putting in place commercial and transport management systems to enable proper customs clearance inspections, maintaining compliance, ensuring financial soundness and upholding safety standards. Nippon Express Group companies in Japan, 13 European countries, South Korea and Taiwan have been granted AEO status in acknowledgment of the quality of their customs clearance procedures and security measures, and India will become the 17th country on this list. With business locations in 20 cities across India, including Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, and Mumbai, NE India has been providing import/export forwarding operations, milk run deliveries and a full range of other logistics services since its establishment in 2007. By becoming the first Japanese company to be AEO-certified among the many manufacturers, trading firms and other Japanese enterprises expanding into India, NE India will be able to provide speedy, smooth and secure services to meet the increasingly sophisticated and diverse needs of its customers in a country garnering attention as one of the world’s largest markets. Nippon Express will continue endeavoring to provide high-quality logistics services in order to support its customers’ growing international logistics operations.
