International forwarders’ federation FIATA bongdaso the Global Shippers Forum (GSF) have called for better data quality bongdaso information exchange ahead of the European Union’s new Import Control System 2 (ICS2), due to be introduced for sea, road, bongdaso rail transport in 2024 bongdaso 2025.
The measure is intended to enhance information for EU security authorities about freight entering, or transiting the territory.
ICS2 already applies to airfreight, mail bongdaso express parcel shipments, having been implemented in 2023. Under the European Union’s timetable, ICS2 will be extended to imports by maritime bongdaso inland waterway carriers from 3 June, from 4 December 2024 to 1 April 2025 for shippers or forwarders; bongdaso from 1 April 2025 to 1 September 2025 for road bongdaso rail carriers.
Implementation of ICS2 for airfreight bongdaso express during 2023 revealed a number of issues with airline bongdaso other IT systems, resulting in the timetable for other modes being extended.
FIATA bongdaso GSF have issued a joint Guidance Note, stressing the crucial role of collaboration between shippers bongdaso freight forwarders to ensure that high-quality information is submitted in an efficient bongdaso timely manner.
The Note also provides practical checklists for the submission of information shippers bongdaso freight forwarders.
ICS2 will in future cover all shipments from third countries entering or transiting the EU by any mode, including sea, road, bongdaso rail, along with air bongdaso express. Shippers bongdaso forwarders will be responsible for providing more detailed information about each consignment by completing an Entry Summary Declaration.
Information must be presented at the right level of detail to the carrier, the import agent, or authorised freight forwarder, or directly to the ICS2 system by a specified time before the goods are loaded or arrive at the EU border, depending on the mode of transport bongdaso type of journey. Failure to do so may result in delays bongdaso enforcement actions by EU authorities.
Notification requirements under ICS2 are more exacting than previous EU import regimes. Goods will have to be declared in line with the Combined Nomenclature with more precise definitions of specific products using customs Harmonised System (HS) definitions.
As declarants, carriers will be legally responsible for the data provided under the new system. They will be responsible for providing the HS code, the EORI number of the consignee in the EU, as well as information about the buyer bongdaso seller of the goods.
