Trade Tech is kicking off 2025 with a series of ICS2 ENS webinars across the globe. The ocean ICS2 ENS filing requirement is now live and we will provide updates following nearly 6 weeks of active filings. By leveraging Trade Tech’s global network, these webinars will be hosted by our local offices and in your local time zone. Whether you have started filing, are still trying to understand the requirements, question whether or not you need to be concerned about filing, or are still trying to understand the impact to your company and your customers, we are confident these webinars will be both informative and helpful.
Countries in the European Union have developed a unified approach to what they call Import Control System 2 or ICS2. ICS2 introduces requirements for every Bill of Lading issuer to present new advance cargo information via an ENS filing, to protect against security and safety threats from goods entering the EU. The ENS filing requires a complete set of Entry Summary Declaration data for goods into the EU. Trade Tech has developed electronic connections to EU Customs systems so that cargo owners and Freight Forwarders/NVOCCs are now able to file ENS through the Trade Tech system.
Failure to file ICS2 will lead to actions by customs authorities to enforce compliance prior to and on arrival and freight will be stopped at the EU borders and the goods in question will not be cleared by Customs authorities.
