Prestigious internationally recognised certification confirms high levels of legal and operational compliance

CEAT Kelani Holdings has been granted Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) Tier I status by Sri Lanka Customs in recognition of high levels of legal and operational compliance and strong supply chain security.

The AEO certification is internationally recognised and provides the company, a significant exporter of rubber tyres from Sri Lanka, enhanced trade facilitation with partners and authorities globally.

The upgrade of CEAT Kelani’s ‘Green Channel/Fast Track’ status to AEO status will confer on the company benefits such as expedited Customs clearance processes, reduced inspections, enhanced security measures and many other facilities framed in the program. The prestigious AEO certification also enables CEAT Kelani to contribute to the integrity and security of the global supply chain.

For the purpose of granting AEO Tier I status, the Sri Lanka Customs conducted a comprehensive and transparent validation process, during which CEAT Kelani demonstrated full compliance with all the required criteria.

“We have always enforced rigid compliance with all regulatory and ethical requirements in every aspect of our operations, and the AEO Tier I certification of Sri Lanka Customs is an invaluable endorsement of that compliance,” CEAT Kelani Chief Operating Officer Shamal Gunawardene said. “The AEO program further enhances our cooperative relationship with the Customs authorities and our trusted trade partners, ensuring continuous and enhanced facilitation.”

The AEO Agreement with Sri Lanka Customs was signed on behalf of CEAT Kelani by the company’s Managing Director and CEO Ravi Dadlani.
