From April 1, 2025, rail and road carriers must submit Entry Summary Declarations (ENS) under the ICS2 system before entering or transiting through the EU. This expansion, part of ICS2 Release 3, includes logistics providers and some EU-based consignees.
Non-compliance risks delays, rejections, or penalties at customs. To prepare, businesses should upgrade IT systems for ENS submissions, train teams on ICS2 protocols, and complete self-conformance testing.
