New EU Import Rules Are Coming – Is Your System Ready?
From April 1, 2025, rail and road hauliers must submit Entry Summary Declarations (ENS) electronically before goods enter or pass through the EU under the Import Control System 2 (ICS2). This update impacts logistics companies, freight forwarders, and express carriers—but it also means major IT system updates.
Key ICS2 Changes for Developers & IT Teams
Automating ENS Submission – Systems must integrate with EU customs APIs
Data Validation & Accuracy – Required fields include EORI, commodity codes, and transport details
Security & Compliance – Adhering to EU customs regulations for data exchange
Self-Conformance Testing – Ensuring system compatibility before going live
What Happens If Systems Aren’t Ready?
- Shipments stuck at EU borders
- Rejected declarations & costly penalties
- Operational slowdowns & revenue loss
How to Prepare Your Logistics Tech Stack?
- Enhance API integrations for real-time ENS submissions
- Implement data validation to prevent errors
- Automate workflows for compliance tracking
- Run pre-launch tests to pass EU’s self-conformance requirements
