Instead of sending the Entry Summary Declaration (ENS) directly to the customs office in the country of entry, all member states will transmit the details to a centralised EU system, the Shared Trader Interface (STI). The primary objective of ICS2 is to enhance the safety, security, and supervision of goods entering the EU.
Additional information will need to be provided within the ENS:
• Consignor details
• Buyer and Seller details
• Harmonised System (HS) Code(s)
The implementation date for ICS2 is 25 November 2024.
