The European Union’s Import Control System 2 (ICS2) represents a significant step forward in global trade compliance and security. For UK businesses operating under post-Brexit trade rules, understanding ICS2 is critical. This article outlines the purpose, scope, and practical impact of ICS2 on UK importers and exporters, highlighting how advanced cargo information fits into the EU’s broader risk-based approach to border controls.
ICS2 is the EU’s updated framework for safeguarding its customs territory by requiring detailed, pre-arrival information on goods entering the Union. It replaces the older ICS1 model as part of the Union Customs Code (UCC) Work Programme, mandating an Entry Summary Declaration (ENS) for every shipment before it arrives in the EU.
