2016 OAS Guidelines

Section III: Modification of the decision

Pursuant to Article 28 of the UCC, an AEO decision may be revoked or amended if one of the conditions for its adoption has not been met or is no longer met, or if the decision-maker so requests.

Revocation in the context of the AEO is addressed in detail in section 5.V of these Guidelines.

In the context of the AEO, changes in company name or address are possible examples of modifications. In some cases, these modifications can only take place after reassessment of compliance with the criteria (e.g. e.g., new installations, if it is an AEOS).

The modification must be notified to the AEO (Article 28, paragraph 3, of the CAU). Any modification shall be communicated to the customs authorities of all Member States, and where appropriate to other administrative authorities, using the SOE communication system, regardless of whether they have participated in a consultation procedure or not.

Furthermore, it should be noted that the applicant must notify the AAE of any changes to the application, and the AAE must incorporate them into the SOE.
