ICS2 Release 3, launched in April 2025, extended the requirement to file Entry Summary Declarations (ENS) to goods moving into the EU by road and rail. ENS filings provide Customs authorities with shipment details before arrival, allowing for advance risk assessment and improved border security. Postponement, under the Derogation Mechanism, allows national Customs authorities to delay enforcement in their country giving companies additional time to prepare.
