Team receives AEO Tier I certification from Sri Lanka Customs

Hayleys Fentons Limited and Hayleys Electronics Limited have secured the Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) Tier I status, officially awarded by Sri Lanka Customs recently.

This globally recognised certification, established under the World Customs Organisation’s SAFE Framework of Standards, highlights both companies’ unwavering commitment to supply chain excellence, regulatory compliance and operational integrity in international trade.

Securing the AEO Tier I status required meeting stringent eligibility standards covering legal compliance, governance discipline and supply chain security. This recognition reflects the companies’ long-standing culture of operational integrity and accountability, underpinned by the governance principles upheld across the Hayleys group.

Hayleys Fentons Managing Director Hasith Prematillake stated, “This achievement is a result of the relentless commitment and expertise of our teams in meeting rigorous international trade requirements. With accelerated clearance protocols and streamlined regulatory procedures now in place, we are positioned to enhance operational performance and deliver superior value to our clients and partners.”  

“The certification strengthens cooperative relationships with international trade partners. It also reinforces our governance framework, elevates staff confidence and sharpens procedural clarity, further minimising compliance risks. With these standards in place, we are strategically positioned to pursue and achieve the AEO Top Tier 2 certification in the future,” added Hayleys Fentons General Manager Supply Chain Ruwan Kumara. 

The certification marks a significant milestone in the ongoing efforts of Hayleys Fentons and Hayleys Electronics to uphold service excellence, strengthen trust and drive greater value creation for their customers. By aligning with globally recognised best practices in supply chain management and compliance, both companies reaffirm their commitment to delivering seamless, reliable and future-ready solutions that elevate customer experience and long-term partnerships.
